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.

New Hampshire covered in rain, smoke as summer begins. Here's the forecast for the season
It may be summer, but the weather in New Hampshire remains gray and rainy. In fact, most of the region has seen measurable rainfall every weekend for the past 13 weeks, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) of Gray, Maine. Together with the rain, smoke from the wildfires in Canada is clouding the skies, blocking the summer sun and causing poor air quality throughout New Hampshire and Maine. After 13 weeks, you may be wondering if the rain in New Hampshire will ever end, as well as when the smoke will clear up. Here's what to know. As of right now, this coming weekend will also see rain in New Hampshire. The NWS forecasts the potential for showers on Saturday, June 14 and measurable rainfall the night of Sunday, June 15. However, neither day is expected to be a washout, and the NWS says both days will be salvageable. While it cannot be determined with certainty when it will stop raining on the weekends in New Hampshire, the NWS predicts that this pattern may be active for a while. "We're not going to be getting into a dry spell anytime soon," said Sarah Jamison of the NWS. "I can't rule out precipitation going through the end of June." Jamison said that spring and early summer are seeing more rain this year as the climate recovers from the drought last fall, with May 2025 in the top three wettest May's ever recorded in southern New Hampshire. Because rain continues to hit the ground, water continues to be fed into the precipitation system, causing more frequent rainfall. While there are stretches of dry weather between the rain, the NWS predicts that an active pattern will continue to come every few days, possibly through the entire summer. NH summer weather: When will it get hot in New Hampshire? See Farmers' Almanac summer forecast As smoke from the Canadian wildfires continues to travel down into the U.S., New Hampshire and Maine are blanketed with gray, hazy skies. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection have both issued an an air quality alert due to particle pollution, which is making the air unhealthy for sensitive groups. Both states advise that individuals limit outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects, including irritated sinuses, stinging eyes, coughing, shortness of breath and even a rapid heartbeat. People who may be especially sensitive to the air pollutants include children, the elderly, those with heart disease and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma or bronchitis. Currently, the air quality alerts are in effect through the morning of Monday, June 9, but they may be extended as the fires continue.

People in Lake Mead Warned of Extreme Heat Wave, 115 Degrees Forecast
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued an extreme heat warning effective from June 8 at 12:46 p.m. PDT until June 10 at 10 p.m. PDT, covering Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Death Valley National Park, and surrounding regions. Temperatures were forecast to reach highs between 105 and 115 degrees in many areas, with Furnace Creek in Death Valley expected to approach 120 degrees. The announcement came as dangerous heat conditions swept through a large portion of Southern Nevada and adjacent areas. Interactive maps from showed the affected areas. This latest warning highlighted increasing risks of heat-related illnesses and fatalities amid early June's soaring temperatures. For many Americans-especially in Las Vegas, Lake Mead, and other rapidly urbanizing desert locations-excessive heat intensifies public health threats and challenges infrastructure, including water management and recreation safety. Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and severe, raising broader concerns about climate resilience in the Southwest. The NWS reported that Las Vegas, Pahrump, and Barstow were expected to reach between 105 and 110 degrees, while Mesquite and areas near Lake Mead should anticipate 110 to 115 degrees. Furnace Creek in Death Valley was forecast to approach 120 degrees. The alert covered the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Death Valley National Park, Western Mojave Desert, Northeast Clark County, Western Clark and Southern Nye County, and the Las Vegas Valley. Extremely high temperatures can significantly increase the risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other serious health conditions. The NWS warned that "car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes," and instructed residents to drink fluids, stay in air-conditioned spaces, check on relatives and neighbors, and avoid leaving children or pets in vehicles. The National Park Service instituted seasonal trail closures through late September or early October for strenuous hikes in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Affected trails include Goldstrike Canyon, White Rock Canyon, Arizona Hot Springs, Liberty Arch, Lone Palm, and Sugar Loaf, due to safety risks posed by sustained high temperatures. Some hot springs remain accessible by boat and less strenuous trails remain open. The Lake Mead National Recreation Area has also faced declining water levels due to climate change and drought. Officials warned that launching and recovering watercraft may be more difficult, with some ramps requiring special attention and possible temporary closures. Elderly individuals, children, outdoor workers, and those with health conditions faced a heightened risk during the heat wave. Authorities urged the public to monitor updates and adhere strictly to safety instructions issued during this period. The extreme heat warning remained active until 10 p.m. PDT on June 10, 2025. The NWS advised residents and visitors to monitor official advisories for updates, while park officials continued to assess safety measures and trail closures as temperatures evolved.
