Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Wisconsin residents should prepare for dangerous heat and the threat of severe thunderstorms Sunday afternoon, as heat index values climb between 95 and 100 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, the state will experience very warm and humid conditions throughout Sunday. Strong to severe storms are possible in the afternoon and evening, with gusty winds and hail expected in the most intense cells. The strongest storms are likely across southeastern Wisconsin, including Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Waukesha counties.
The combination of extreme heat and moisture may increase the risk of heat-related illness for outdoor workers or anyone without air conditioning. Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous activity, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
While Saturday is expected to remain quiet and partly sunny, Sunday’s transition to stormy weather could impact travel and outdoor events. Those with Sunday evening plans should stay weather-aware, as the threat of hail and wind damage may develop quickly.
Storm risks and heat advisories may extend into the evening hours, with additional updates possible as the system evolves.
