Timeline for Today's Thunderstorms

Flood Watch

A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect through 9:00 AM for eastern WI counties shown here. Light southeasterly winds have caused this fog to drift inland from Lake Michigan.

Another round of severe storms is possible across southern Wisconsin this afternoon and evening. The highest risk will be in the orange area shown on this map. All severe hazards including tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds are possible. The storms should evolve from individual storms in western Wisconsin to lines of storms as they shift east through the area. The hail threat should diminish slightly as the storms drift east into the yellow area, with damaging winds and spin-up tornadoes as the main hazards. Keep up with the forecast for this period!

Here is the expected timeline of events as the afternoon / evening thunderstorm threat unfolds.

A Flood Watch is in effect across all of southern Wisconsin from 1 PM this afternoon until 7 AM Saturday morning. Repeated rounds of heavy rainfall from storms over already saturated ground may lead to flash flooding. This may also add to lingering river and lowland flooding across the area.
