GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – According for forecasters with the National Weather Service severe thunderstorms are likely this afternoon and evening in Northeast Wisconsin.
A complex of thunderstorms is expected to move out of the Plains and across the state, bringing with it the potential for damaging winds, torrential rain, large hail, and possibly tornadoes.
The main threats are from damaging winds and torrential rains– several inches of rain could fall in a very short time frame where the heaviest downpours are. That could lead to flash flood situations in areas that are prone to it.
The Storm Prediction Center has much of our area under an “Enhanced” risk for severe thunderstorms, which is the 3rd highest out of 5 threat levels.
Most of the thunderstorms hold off until after 2 PM but they may linger into the evening. The activity should be over before midnight.
