A new Tornado Watch will likely be issued for southwestern and south-central Wisconsin in the next couple hours. Hail larger than tennis balls and strong tornadoes will be possible. Stay weather aware this afternoon - and especially between 4 and 8 pm.

Warm and sunny across the state right now, but we're keeping an eye on the potential for some thunderstorms to develop this afternoon. Not looking at widespread severe weather, but there could be some strong wind gusts and small hail, especially east of I-39.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front this afternoon. A couple storms may turn severe, with gusty winds and small hail possible. Stay alert for warnings and with every thunderstorm: When thunder roars, go indoors!

One more cool and dry day today and then rain comes into the state this evening. Looking like a good soaker along and south of I-94, with 1-2 inches of rain expected. The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted this area in a level 1/4 risk of excessive rainfall for tomorrow.

Statewide rain the last few days, but southern Wisconsin really picked up a healthy soaking - numerous locations over 2” of rainfall. We will probably see this reflected in the Drought Monitor next week.
