About the Program

The Zone Forecasts, issued twice daily, contain information about weather, wind, and humidity for a 7-day period over Wisconsin.

Point Forecasts issued by NWS Green Bay are site-specific forecasts which are issued daily for 1:00 PM Local Time the next day. Points contain forecasts for specific temperatures, humidities, and winds, and are made for ten locations in northeast and north-central Wisconsin.
