Wisconsin, WI – A series of thunderstorms are expected to sweep through Wisconsin today, with severe weather predicted for the afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Milwaukee/Sullivan has issued an alert, advising residents to prepare for potential hail and gusty winds.
According to the NWS, showers and a few thunderstorms are currently moving eastward, with a break expected during the mid-morning to early afternoon hours. However, this lull will be brief as a more organized line of storms is anticipated to develop later in the day, progressing southeastward across the state. The afternoon and evening storms could be particularly strong, with heavy rainfall, hail, and damaging winds as the primary hazards.
Milwaukee is expected to experience the most intense weather between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., with a 55-70% chance of precipitation during these hours. The forecast also indicates that temperatures will climb into the low 80s, adding to the instability in the atmosphere.
Residents across Wisconsin, especially in Milwaukee, Madison, and surrounding areas, should stay updated on weather alerts and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions. The NWS emphasizes the importance of taking precautions, such as securing outdoor objects and avoiding travel during the peak storm hours. As the storm system moves out of the area later tonight, weakening showers and isolated thunderstorms may linger into Friday morning.
