A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect until 4am Tuesday for the Green Bay area, with the main concern being heavy rain that has already led to widespread flooding reports. An additional 2-3 inches of rain is possible, especially south of Green Bay, and residents are advised to use caution near creeks and streams. The tornado threat has lowered but is still present, and another round of strong to severe storms is expected Tuesday evening.

The heavy rain and flooding pose a significant threat to public safety in the Green Bay region, with the potential for road closures, property damage, and power outages. The ongoing severe weather also disrupts normal daily activities and can have cascading impacts on businesses, transportation, and emergency services.
