SE WI risk for severe weather: Damaging winds, tornadoes possible overnight (2024)

STORMS THAT ARE HEADING INTO OUR AREA OVERNIGHT, AND THERE’S A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH RIGHT NOW OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. AND THAT’S FOR A LINE OF STORMS. THAT’S DEVELOPING RIGHT NOW. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH HOW THIS IS GOING TO DEVELOP AND THEN MOVE THROUGH THE STATE THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OFF TO OUR NORTHWEST COULD IMPACT US AFTER MIDNIGHT. AND I DO THINK IT COULD BE AS LATE AS 2 OR 3:00 IN THE MORNING. RADAR. RIGHT NOW IT’S PRETTY QUIET ACROSS MOST OF OUR AREA. WE SAW SOME RAIN. FOR A LOT OF US, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I 94 AND WEST CLOSER TO JOHNSON CREEK. ONE LITTLE THUNDERSTORM THERE OVER PORTIONS OF DANE COUNTY, AND THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF ACTIVITY LEFT NEAR JANESVILLE. BUT THE BIGGER CHANCE FOR STORMS IS OVERNIGHT. SO ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS. REALLY. RIGHT NOW. BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHANGE TO THE FORECAST. IF YOU TUNED IN AT FOUR OR 5 OR 6, THE CHANCE FOR STORMS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. TRENDING JUST A LITTLE BIT LATER. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE THAT THIS STORM SYSTEM MAY TRACK A LITTLE BIT FARTHER NORTH, BUT I STILL STILL DO THINK THERE’S A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT AT LEAST PART OF SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN WILL SEE SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, ANOTHER CHANCE FOR STRONG STORMS. EXACTLY WHERE THOSE DEVELOP IS GOING TO DEPEND ON WHAT WE SEE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE’S A CHANCE THAT THAT CHANCE STAYS A LITTLE BIT FARTHER SOUTH. SHOWERS AND STORMS STILL AROUND. PART OF OUR AREA RIGHT NOW, BUT IT’S THE DEVELOPMENT FARTHER NORTHWEST. THAT’S REALLY WHAT I’M KEEPING AN EYE ON IN THE NORTHWOODS RIGHT NOW. THAT’S GOING TO MOVE SOUTHWEST AS WE OR SOUTHEAST, EXCUSE ME. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SO, SO STRONG WINDS STILL LOOKING LIKE THE BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS LINE. THERE MAY BE A LITTLE BIT OF HAIL. AND WE COULD SEE AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR JUST A FEW TORNADOES ALONG THE LINE. BUT DAMAGING WINDS AS THAT LINE DEVELOPS AND MOVES THROUGH IS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST CONCERN. SO A FEW SHOWERS COULD LINGER INTO EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. FOR THE MOST PART, WE ARE HOT. WE ARE MUGGY. FOR YOUR TUESDAY. HIGHS NEAR 90 WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON, THEN A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. STORM CHANCES ARE BACK ON FRIDAY, THEN A HANDFUL OF DRY DAYS IN THE FORECAST. HERE’S FUTURECAST. THIS IS ABOUT RIGHT NOW AND YOU CAN SEE THAT COMPLEX OF STORMS THAT’S ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHWOODS. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS, THAT DEVELOPS INTO A LINE. THIS IS FUTURECAST AT 2:00. THIS IS STILL PRETTY FAR NORTHWEST OF SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN. SOME TIMES THESE LINES MOVE A LOT FASTER THAN WHAT WHAT MODELS ANTICIPATE. SO IT COULD MOVE IN A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAN THAT. BY 3:00. WE HAVE MORE STORMS ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES. BY 5:00 IT’S CLOSER TO MILWAUKEE. BY SIX AND SEVEN, IT’S OUT OF THE AREA. SO ONCE IT MOVES IN, IT WILL MOVE OUT VERY QUICKLY. AND I DO STILL THINK MUCH OF THE MORNING COMMUTE IS DRY. WE SEE SOME CLOUDS AROUND TOMORROW, BUT WE ARE MUCH, MUCH DRIER AS WE HEAD THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY WITH A CHANCE OF STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON, SO WE ARE STILL KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON THAT POTENTIAL FOR A LINE OF STRONG STORMS EARLY TOMORROW. TIMING. RIGHT NOW I THINK IT’S 2 TO 6, A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AT EIGHT, BUT THE SEVERE THREAT REALLY STARTS TO LIMIT AFTER ABOUT 6:00 IN THE MORNING, DAMAGING WINDS, AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TORNADOES IS POSSIBLE. THAT FORECAST STILL COULD ADJUST AND CHANGE. WE’RE GOING TO KEEP A REALLY CLOSE EYE ON THESE STORMS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO SEE HOW THEY DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO, 74 DEGREES CLEAR SKIES IN MILWAUKEE. IT’S QUIET. IT’S STILL REALLY WARM FOR THIS TIME OF THE NIGHT. HOT AND HUMID WHEN STORMS MOVE OUT TOMORROW MORNING. STORMS STILL LOOKING LIKELY FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, WITH THAT CHANCE FOR A FEW STORMS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THEN AS WE HEAD TO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY LOOKING MUCH, MUCH DRIER TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO 70 DEGREES 73 ON
