What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this beach hazards statement went out at Jun 20, 3:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 55 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Scattered thunderstorms are expected through this evening. A few severe storms may occur with large hail and gusty winds. More storms will be possible late tonight through Saturday morning as a complex of storms crosses as close as northern Wisconsin.
- Multiple days of dangerous heat are forecast from Saturday into Monday. Heat index values are expected to reach 95 to 105 degrees each afternoon on Saturday and Sunday, and in the lower to middle 90s on Monday across east-central Wisconsin. Low temperatures in the 70s will provide minimal relief to the heat and humidity. A Heat Advisory has been issued, started at noon on Saturday. Cooler temperatures are forecast on Tuesday.
- The chances of thunderstorms will continue at times next week. Strong or severe storms are possible Monday into Monday night with damaging winds and large hail. It is too early to determine the risk of severe weather after Monday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 308 AM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Scattered thunderstorms are expected through this evening. A few severe storms may occur with large hail and gusty winds. More storms will be possible late tonight through Saturday morning as a complex of storms crosses as close as northern Wisconsin. - Multiple days of dangerous heat are forecast from Saturday into Monday. Heat index values are expected to reach 95 to 105 degrees each afternoon on Saturday and Sunday, and in the lower to middle 90s on Monday across east-central Wisconsin.

Strong or severe storms are possible Monday into Monday night with damaging winds and large hail. It is too early to determine the risk of severe weather after Monday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 308 AM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025 Short Term...Today...Tonight...and Saturday NW flow is active this morning. Couple of stronger waves within the flow along with warm air advection aloft will continue to support clusters of storms, gradually shifting east into more of our forecast area. MUCAPEs have fallen since earlier, mainly in the 500-700J/kg range. Instability with 50+ kts of effective shear has led to occasional severe with stronger storms, but most storms staying sub-severe. As most well developed complex early this morning should remain southwest focused along nose of 850mb jet, expect this general regime to persist through 12-14z following the pocket of elevated instability and as stronger wave over central MN shifts east. Later this morning, northern edge of complex tracking over far southwest WI may result in a few storms to develop over central WI, then as additional wave over northern MN shifts southeast, may see another round of mainly elevated showers and storms form over northern WI in area of increasing MUCAPE. Eventually, warmer air builds in from the west at 800mb-700mb which should begin to diminish convection. May remain mostly cloudy for the day though as clouds are trapped beneath the inversion aloft. Storms/Severe Potential Tonight into Saturday Morning: After general lull into early this evening, conditions still look to change rapidly later this evening as warm front surges northeast across the state. Low- level jet 50 kts will push a large reservoir of instability (3000-4000 j/kg) into northern WI. Genesis region for convective initiation to the north of capping will be over central and northern MN ahead of sharp shortwave trough and sfc low, along and north of warm front. Majority of models keep the bulk of complex north of even northern WI closer to track of sharp shortwave trough. Unlike last couple nights, core of highest instability is now closer to the shortwave trough. Thus, though some extension of storms may try to build south into northern WI into higher instability, idea that models have been showing which is now more or less supported by higher res guidance, has more merit and will keep highest pops restricted to northern fringe of cwa. Still a very present severe potential for large hail and damaging winds given the degree of instability and deep layer shear. SPC continues to highlight our area in Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for both Day1 and Day2 (far northeast WI due to exiting complex of storms). Lingering thunderstorms remain on track to exit on Saturday morning. Given degree of capping building in, think additional storms on Saturday will be hard to come by. Dangerous heat begins on Saturday: 850mb temps rising to 23-24c along with increasing capping due to anomously warm 700mb temps will support high temps rising to around 90 north to the low to mid 90s elsewhere away from the immediate Lake Michigan shore. The heat combined with dewpoints reaching into the lower 70s will result in heat index values reaching the mid 90s north, to the upper 90s to around 100 away from the immediate Lake Michigan shore. The highest heat index values will occur from central to northeast WI. This will be the first day of multi-day dangerous heat. Though some heat index values are marginal on Saturday in terms of strict criteria, opted to keep it simple and issue a Heat Advisory over all areas except Door County and to run this through Monday to capture the higher heat index values Sunday and Monday, along with the very warm nights Saturday night and Sunday night which will provide minimal relief from the heat. The Heat Advisory begins at noon on Saturday. Long Term...Saturday Night Through Thursday Intense heat will be the focus Saturday night into Monday as very warm air at 925/850mb noted on the models. For next week, the ring of fire will continue periodic chances of showers and thunderstorms, locally heavy rain and stronger storms at times. For Saturday night, southerly winds should remain in the 5 to 15 mph range with lows in the middle to upper 70s at most places. On Sunday, hot and humid conditions will prevail with highs in the 90s at most places. Forecast 850/925mb temperatures off the models were supportive of the forecast high temperatures. One item of interest to watch is the GFS is currently depicting the warmest 850/925mb temperatures across north-central Wisconsin. This would mean the hottest temperatures will be across the far north. The other models do not show this distinct temperature anomaly. Heat index values of 95 to 105 degrees are expected across much of the area Sunday afternoon. A Heat Advisory is likely with the possibility some of the area could reach Extreme Heat Warning. Another very warm night is in store Sunday night across the area with lows in the 70s, with the warmest readings in the upper 70s over east-central Wisconsin. As the previous forecaster noted, "The last time we had two consecutive nights of min temps greater than 75 at GRB was July 1-2 of 2002. Record warmest min of all time for GRB is 79 (last time in 1916). This forecast has not changed much, so much of Wisconsin remains in the major to extreme impact to very high category for heat risk. Increasing clouds and the chances of showers and storms arrive Monday. Eastern portions of the state will see another day in the 90s, with readings only in the lower to middle 80s across north- central Wisconsin due to cloud cover and rain. Strong or severe storms are possible Monday afternoon into Monday night as the cold front moves across the area. Beyond Monday night, models continue to show the area in the ring of fire as there will be periodic chances of showers and storms through the end of the work week. There will be breaks in the precipitation, but timing them this far out is difficult. Cooler temperatures return on Tuesday as the frontal boundary will be draped across or south of the area through the end of the forecast period. Locally heavy rain and the possibility of stronger storms exists. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1023 PM CDT Thu Jun 19 2025 Scattered thunderstorms were moving back into central WI late this evening, aided by increasing WAA. These should be scattered, with isolated strong to marginally severe storms (with hail) possible. A low-level jet may kick off a more significant area of showers and embedded storms over C/EC WI late tonight into Friday morning. After that, there should be general lull before a potential round of severe storms impacts northern WI late Friday night into early Saturday morning. MVFR conditions will likely accompany and thunderstorm occurrences through Friday morning. In addition, models support fog/low stratus potential across NC/NE WI overnight, with lingering MVFR stratus through at least Friday morning. Winds will be light tonight, but could be a bit gusty from the S-SW during the day on Friday. Some LLWS is expected to move into the region later Friday evening. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Some storms could become severe with damaging winds and large hail. However, the greatest risk of severe thunderstorms will be after midnight tonight into early Saturday morning as a thunderstorm complex is expected to move across northern Wisconsin. There is also the potential for torrential rainfall with the stronger storms with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour. The intense rainfall rates could result in urban street flooding and ponding of water on roads. Ditches, creeks and rivers will be on the rise over the weekend. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday A thunderstorm complex should exit northeast Wisconsin Saturday morning. Thunderstorms are possible at times again next week, with strong or severe storms possible on Monday into Monday night with damaging winds and large hail. It is too early to determine the severe weather risk after Monday. A multi-day period of dangerous heat is forecast from Saturday through Monday. Heat index values are expected to reach 95 degrees to 105 degrees at most places during the afternoon hours on Saturday and Sunday, and in the lower to middle 90s across northeast Wisconsin on Monday. Low temperatures in the 70s will provide minimal relief to the heat and humidity. A Heat Advisory is in effect beginning at noon on Saturday. Increasing south winds and building waves will result in an increased risk of rip currents along Lake Michigan beaches Saturday morning through Monday morning. A Beach Hazards Statement is in effect. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will likely be needed at times through Saturday morning. LMZ521-522-541>543-210815- The Bay of Green Bay south of a line from Cedar River MI to Rock Island Passage-Lake Michigan from Washington Island to Sheboygan- 309 AM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of northwest Lake Michigan and the waters of Green Bay. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight Thunderstorms are possible at times through tonight that would pose a hazard to mariners. It is possible that the storms late tonight could produce very strong winds. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday A thunderstorm complex is expected to exit northeast Wisconsin Saturday morning. This complex could still produce very strong winds until it exits the area. Thunderstorms are possible at times next week, with the storms Monday and Monday night could produce strong winds and large hail. Gusty southerly winds and high waves will create hazardous conditions for small craft from Saturday into Monday morning. Dense marine fog may be possible at times Saturday into early next week, especially on Lake Michigan. At Lake Michigan beaches, there is an increased risk of rip currents Saturday morning through Monday morning. JLA/Eckberg
