Pockets of Heavy Rainfall Possible Today

High Swim Risk Today

Multiple bands of rain are forecast to track from south to north across southern Wisconsin today. Some storms this afternoon could produce locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Also, we cannot rule out a brief, weak tornado occurring in the afternoon.

There is a high swim risk for lakeshore areas north of Wind Point all day and into the evening. Life threatening waves and currents are expected. Stay out of the water and away from dangerous areas like piers and breakwalls.
