A slow moving storm system over the northern Gulf Coast will continue periods of showers and thunderstorms over much of the Southeast U.S. through this weekend. The risk for heavy to excessive rainfall increases on Sunday as a surge of increased moisture moves over parts of northern Florida into southern Georgia. Read More >
Overview
On a day where we were expecting a quiet day weather-wise, we ended up with two interesting weather phenomenon occurring. The first was a funnel cloud near Sun Prairie around 10:45am from a shower that did not show much, if any, rotation. In the afternoon, storms developed along the lake breeze near Lake Michigan with some localized wind damage from a microburst near West Allis, Greenfield and Greendale.Photos & Video:
