Isolated severe storms possible Thursday evening

 


A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH has just been issued for Boone and McHenry counties in northern Illinois, and for Green, Rock, and Walworth counties in Wisconsin until 10pm. Thunderstorms have started to rapidly develop in Wisconsin along a lake breeze moving through Milwaukee and a cold front just north of Madison.


The storms near Milwaukee will continue to move southeast, over Lake Michigan, but the storms located near Madison, WI could impact parts of the viewing area within the next hour or two.

The current storm motion is to the southeast, placing areas along and east of I-39 having the best chance for isolated severe thunderstorms. Damaging wind gusts and torrential downpours will be the biggest threats with any severe storm that develops. Small hail may also occur.


Our window for thunderstorms will take us through 10pm, with drier skies expected overnight. it'll still remain humid through Friday with temperatures back into the upper 80s and the heat index in the low 90s.
