Milwaukee, WI – Southern Wisconsin will experience rounds of showers and thunderstorms into the weekend due to a stalled frontal boundary that will wobble north and south across the region. Today, the primary focus for rain and storms will be across southwestern to central Wisconsin, with highs ranging from near 80 degrees in those regions to nearly 90 degrees in southeastern Wisconsin, where sunny skies will assist in rapidly increasing temperatures.
According to the US National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan, any afternoon thunderstorms that develop are expected to produce downpours and locally gusty winds. Warm and humid conditions will persist into Wednesday for most of southern Wisconsin. After a brief cool-down on Thursday, with highs back in the 70s, the warmth and humidity will return for Friday and Saturday.
There is a chance for thunderstorms west of Madison late tonight, with higher chances focused there through late Wednesday morning. Storm chances will become more focused over southeast Wisconsin during the afternoon and evening, with a few strong storms possible.
