Weather Story

Spotty Shower Chances This Weekend

High Swim Risk Sat AM To Early Sat Evening

5 Day Outlook

Overall seeing the bulk of rainfall further south due to dry air in place across WI. Thus lower rainfall amounts for southern WI with a sharp cut off for areas north of I-94. Still looking at rain chances along the WI/IL border this morning, but heavier rainfall remains in IL. Much of the area will be dry through the afternoon/evening. Then additional rain and storm chances return along a cold front tonight into Sunday morning, but coverage will be spotty and not everyone will see measurable rain.

A High Swim Risk is expected for the Lake Michigan beaches in Sheboygan, Ozaukee and Milwaukee County Saturday morning into early Saturday evening. Gusty southeast winds will bring waves of 3 to 5 feet, which will bring life threatening waves and currents. Stay out of the water, and away from dangerous areas like piers and breakwalls. A Moderate Swim Risk is expected for the Lake Michigan beaches in Racine County as well.
