Temperatures are also expected to gradually warm through next week. Long range ensembles favor next Thursday into Friday for the next round of widespread showers and thunderstorms. Synoptically an upper trough is forecast to dig into the northern Plains spurring on an area of surface cyclogenesis.

HYDROLOGY
Issued at 135 AM CDT Sat Apr 18 2026

MRMS 24-hr QPE shows a narrow swath of 2-3" of rainfall from northwest Wood Co. to southern Langlade Co. with lesser amounts of 0.25-0.75" across the rest of the forecast area. This will likely lead to brief rises on rivers in central WI, mainly the Wisconsin River. A small area of these higher end totals did fall in the northern extend of the Wolf River basin which will slightly delay the eventual crest and recession of the major flooding that continues along the Wold River at New London and Shiocton. Additionally the Menominee river will remain in minor to major flood stage through this weekend due to recent rainfall and continued snowmelt in Upper Michigan. If you live near a river or stream, continue to monitor the latest hydro forecasts and Flood Warnings from the National Weather Service in Green Bay.
