Overview

Heat along with Severe Thunderstorms Possible:

  • Heat: Hot and humid conditions are expected today. High temperatures should climb into the middle 80s to lower 90s. The combination of the heat and humidity will create heat indices into the 90s, and possibly near 100 across portions of central into east-central Wisconsin. Slightly cooler and less humid conditions are expected on Sunday.
  • Storms: A line of strong to severe storms is moving across the region through the morning hours. The storms this morning are capable of producing damaging wind gusts, which pose a threat to trees and power lines across the area. Additional thunderstorms are possible this afternoon and tonight. Damaging winds and large hail will be possible with the strongest storms.
  • Flooding: Torrential rainfall will be possible with any storm, which could lead to localized flooding of urban areas along with ponding of water on area highways. Heavy rain will cause area rivers to rise, which may result in some rivers reaching bankful or flood stage.

Make sure you follow the forecast and have a way to get the latest weather information, including any watches or warnings. If you are planning outdoor activities on land or water, have alternate plans in place, including knowing where the nearest sturdy shelter is, in the event severe weather threatens your area.
