Milwaukee Weather: Wintry mix early, severe storms late day
MILWAUKEE - Forecast from FOX6 Meteorologist Holly Baker
A Tornado Watch is in effect for portions of southern Wisconsin until 8pm. There is an enhanced risk level 3 out of 5 for strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.
Even with limited instability, the dynamics are strong enough to support damaging winds and a quick spin-up tornado risk as storms organize into a line.
Friday keeps things active with elevated storms and a significant hail threat despite cooler surface temps, before things trend quieter but cooler into the weekend.
From there, we settle into a more typical early spring pattern with on-and-off rain or snow chances and another system to watch heading into the middle of next week.
