First day of NFL Draft to bring showers in the morning, mild temperatures
Since the Green Bay Packers were named host of the 2025 draft there's been one question: how will Wisconsin's finnicky April weather welcome the NFL?
Not that bad, it turns out.
While thunderstorm and showers are possible the early morning of April 24, the National Weather Service's Green Bay Office forecasts the opening day of the draft to be nice as temperatures could reach up to 62 degrees and a light breeze of up to 10 miles per hour is expected.

"Looks like there's a chance of rain this morning... then it should dry out," said Roy Eckberg, a meteorologist at NWS's Green Bay office.
April 24's chance of precipitation sits at 30%, according to the NWS.
While the opening day of the draft will be welcoming to attendees, April 25 could be less pleasant. A blustering wind is going to add a chill to the day, with highs dropping to the 50s, Eckberg said.
Rain was likely after 5 a.m. on April 25, he said. That day's rain is expected to last most of morning, before tapering off in the early to mid-afternoon.
"Right now, it looks like going to be a little cooler than usual," he said of April 25. "It's going to be breezy and cool."

Outside of rain and higher-than-usual traffic, Eckberg said people driving to and from Green Bay for the draft shouldn't have concern.
The rest of the weekend should be dry, according to the NWS forecast. April 26 is forecast with a high of 58 degrees and April 27 has a high of 63 degrees.
Draft events will only be postponed in the case of extreme weather that threatens public safety. Information for fans will be available on NFL.com/Draft-event-info, pushed out via the NFL OnePass app and announced over the PA system on-site.

Three people killed in New York after severe thunderstorms with flash flood emergency issued: ‘Seek higher ground now!'
ONEIDA COUNTY, N.Y. – Severe thunderstorms contributed to three deaths in central New York and dumped up to 5 inches of rain on Sunday, prompting a rare Flash Flood Emergency as floodwaters covered roads and entered homes. Storm reports from the National Weather Service office in Binghamton, New York, show Oneida County's emergency manager reported three deaths after severe storms knocked down multiple trees onto at least two separate structures near Clark Mills, New York, just before 4 a.m. ET on Sunday. FOX Weather has reached out to Oneida County officials to independently confirm these storm-related fatalities. Oneida County officials said thunderstorms left more than 30,000 without power and caused significant damage in the towns of Kirkland, Lee, Westmoreland and Trenton. National Grid crews are working to restore power. 'We are doing everything we can to respond quickly and safely to the damage left by these storms,' Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente, Jr., said in a statement. 'Our emergency teams are on the ground clearing roadways, coordinating with utility crews and assessing the needs of affected communities. I urge everyone to stay alert, avoid downed power lines and give our crews the space they need to do their work.' The same storm system brought a deluge of rain to central New York throughout Sunday morning. 4 A flooded street in the village of Canastota, N.Y. on June 22, 2025.

Flooding was reported in areas such as Norwich, Sherburne and New Berlin. 4 Sever thunderstorms have led to three deaths in central New York state. Village of Canastota/Facebook Chenango County is in a state of emergency due to the flooding. 'This is a Flash Flood Emergency for Chenango County,' the NWS warned in its Flash Flood Emergency.

Wisconsin will see record-breaking heat through Monday night. How to stay safe and cool.
Wisconsin won't get relief from extremely hot and humid conditions until at least Monday night, when storms will move across the southwestern part of the state. The heat is likely to break records in several ways. The National Weather Service is forecasting temperatures will reach 97 degrees in Milwaukee today, which is the same record high for June 22 set in 1911. "It's going to be close. We could tie it, we could break it, we could be just short," said NWS meteorologist Mark Gehring. There's another important measure called the record high minimum — essentially, the warmest low temperature of a 24-hour period. Madison broke its record for that metric yesterday. In Milwaukee, that record was 73 degrees in 1921. The low temperature in Milwaukee this morning was 78 degrees, Gehring said, and setting a new record will depend on how much temperatures drop late tonight. "There's a very good chance that will happen," he said of breaking that record. That metric is important because it doesn't allow people to cool down in the overnight hours, Gehring said, especially when homes without air conditioning are warmer than outside temperatures.

A heat advisory remains in effect until 7 p.m. June 23 across Wisconsin for heat index values reaching up to 105 degrees. Milwaukee, Kenosha and Racine counties are under an extreme heat warning until 7 p.m. tomorrow, with heat index values reaching up to 110. The National Weather Service and health officials give the following tips to stay safe and cool. Stay hydrated with water or beverages with electrolytes. It's important to hydrate before going outside, not just while you're outside. Make sure you eat meals. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Limit time outside if you can. If you need to be outside, take breaks in the shade. Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen and light-colored, loose clothing. Check on people without air conditioning, especially the elderly. The Milwaukee area has a map of cooling centers like libraries. Stay cool in your home by taking colder showers and baths and using wet towels to lower body temperature. Fans are useful but should not be your only cooling method. Know the signs of heat exhaustion, which include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea and fainting. If you are experiencing any symptoms of heat stroke — which include high body temperature, dry skin, confusion and rapid pulse — call 911 immediately.

Here's where you can stay cool As extreme heat moves out, storms will roll in across southwestern Wisconsin, including over Madison by early Monday evening. The system will likely weaken before reaching Milwaukee. Rain chances continue essentially every day for the rest of the week. Right now, models show storms are hovering to the north and west of the Milwaukee metro area. "It's close enough that if it shifts just a little bit (to the south), Milwaukee could get rounds of showers and storms through the week," Gehring said. Those storms could involve severe weather not far from Milwaukee, he said, including wind and hail damage.
