More storms, but will we get more 80s?

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]this 11-month deployment.

[00:00:02]>> We have now had two days with highs in the 80s so far this May. Yesterday and Friday. [music] Are we going to be adding to that number anytime soon? Your 7-day forecast is next.

[00:00:20]All right, we have just completed a weather 180 here in Northeast Wisconsin, specifically Green Bay yesterday afternoon, 87.

[00:00:28]this afternoon 47. That is a 40°ree drop in one day afternoon to afternoon.

[00:00:37]Having said that, temperatures are now slowly starting to go up. We've got lower 50s in Oshkosh. It is currently upper 50s in FondeLac. With that lower 50 reading in Oshkosh, it is cloudy and we're still looking at north winds at around 10 to 15 miles hour. In Sturgeon Bay, we've got clouds with scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area. Temperatures are currently in the upper 40s. Once again, take a look at where we had some storm reports today.

[00:01:04]Everything was centered right around Cal County and Manitou County. We had one lone severe thunderstorm that moved across the southeastern part of the NBC26 viewing area. Once again, about a 100 miles north of the warmf frontont.

[00:01:19]extremely unusual to say the least to have damaging winds that far away from the surface uh frontal boundary which is located down near the Wisconsin border, but it happened. You can see we've got showers and thunderstorms here continuing from Brown County north and east across Do County. All this activity slowly working off towards northern lower Michigan. And there is the thunderstorm that produced that wind damage across Calamid and Manitto counties now prompting a severe thunderstorm warning for the northwestern part of lower Michigan.

[00:01:50]Meanwhile, things are quieting down to our south and west, but way off to the south and west. They're starting to heat back up again. You can see we've got tornado watches across parts of the central plains. That activity is expected to shift east late tonight into tomorrow morning. And as those storms roll through here, if they can hold together, there will once again be the threat for some damaging winds and also some hail. You can see on the high-res future radar, however, that those showers and thunderstorms, for the most part, once they move into Wisconsin after midnight, are expected to weaken as they make their way towards Lake Michigan. There's the frontal boundary located to our south, slowly starting to work north now as a warm front. You go from 49 in Green Bay to 85° in Chicago.

[00:02:36]As that frontal boundary lifts to the north late tonight or early tomorrow morning on the other side of it, our winds will switch back to the south and west and temperatures will take off. It looks like tomorrow will be our third 80°ree high temperature of the month.

[00:02:50]And yes, there is a slight chance for severe weather across the NBC 26 viewing area. And that means all types of severe weather would be possible. You can see some leftover showers and maybe a thunderstorm tomorrow morning. Then we break into a mixture of sun and clouds.

[00:03:06]And then additional showers and thunderstorms are likely late tomorrow night once again into early Tuesday morning. And that's when we would have that threat for some severe weather.

[00:03:16]We'll have to wait and see if we get it or not. Anyway, look at it. More rain is on the way. Here's another weather 180.

[00:03:23]The first 16 days of this month, less than a quarter of an inch. today over a half an inch of rain and you can see that severe weather season is really just starting to ramp up across the area. So tonight a shower maybe a thunderstorm late 3 4:00 in the morning.

[00:03:38]Tomorrow windy and warmer after some morning showers mainly dry for the day.

[00:03:43]My 3°ree guarantee is 82. If I can hit that high within 3° we will donate $100 to the Manitawalk War warming shelter.

[00:03:50]Unfortunately we did not do that on Friday. I forecast 77. The high temperature hit with 81. After lower 80s on Monday, mid70s on Tuesday, and then cooler weather for the middle part of the week, but quiet.
