Here we go again....another complex of storms is barreling through Illinois this morning with a bowing segment traveling along I-80. The Chicagoland area is looking at another gusty/damaging wind potential.

WEDNESDAY 4CAST | Foggy this morning, then the warmth & humidity are back! There is an outside chance for showers/storms to clip the State Line. Most rain stays South. 08.12.26 #wiwx

⚠️Foggy & muggy this morning! Use those low beams & take it slow if you encounter a bank of fog.

⚠️TUESDAY STORMS -- Watch out for scattered rain showers and thunderstorms late this morning and into the early afternoon. Some storms could turn severe... #wiwx 08.11.26

3:20A RADAR | A noisy morning for Walworth county! Severe T-Storm Warning goes until 3:30A. Core of the storm passing through the SW part of the county -- hail, gusty winds, and heavy rain!

⚠️MONDAY EVENING -- Storm Team 4 is monitoring a stalled frontal boundary that is positioned just South of Wisconsin. Later this evening, scattered storms may erupt near this boundary. While most of the rain is expected to be in Illinois, some storms could clip far southern Wisconsin. #wiwx 08.10.26

Wildfire smoke continues to hover well above Wisconsin & much of the Great Lakes. We're not expecting any impacts to surface air quality around Milwaukee. But you'll notice more vibrant sunrises & sunsets! 🌅

WEEKEND 4CAST -- Warm, humid & some storm chances. A stalled frontal boundary could make for an active start to next week! Here's the latest...

Here's your Fair 4Cast from Storm Team 4! Not bad overall -- warm & humid (we're used to that!) A pop-up is possible along the lake breeze today and there's another chance of storms late Friday night. 80s for the weekend! #wiwx 08.06.26

10:25a RADAR -- SW Wisconsin has taken most of the rain this morning. Additional hit & miss showers are possible late this afternoon and into evening. #wiwx 08.05.26

⚠️WEDNESDAY RAIN -- Rounds of showers are expected throughout the day. Watch out for downpours! Some nicer, but humid, weather is expected for the kickoff of the State Fair! #wiwx 08.05.26

⚠️More Rain -- Rounds of showers/storms will move in late this evening & continue into Wednesday. While the flooding risk has shifted farther South, any repeated rounds of rain could lead to isolated instances of flooding. Most spots may see 0.5" to as much as 1.5"/2" toward the State Line.

⚠️RAIN ON THE WAY -- Rounds of showers/storms will work into SE Wisconsin late this evening, overnight and throughout Wednesday. The highest rainfall totals will be near & South of I-94.

⚠️MORE RAIN | After a couple nice days of sunshine, we could see rounds of rain set up over northern Illinois & southern Wisconsin late Tuesday into Wednesday..

⚠️FRIDAY RAIN -- Showers move in this afternoon from West to East. Rounds of steady to heavy rain are possible throughout overnight. Lingering showers will taper off Saturday.

⚠️RAIN ON THE WAY -- It's much needed, but could soak the evening commute & Friday night plans. Rain will taper off on Saturday... #wiwx 07.31.26

DROUGHT EXPANDS | We knew this was coming🌵 Moderate drought has expanded through more of SE Wisconsin. Since May 1 (90 days ago), Milwaukee has missed out on 5-7" of rainfall it otherwise might see during this 90-day stretch of the year. Severe drought has been introduced across the North Woods.
