Milwaukee Weather: Severe storms expected

Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

An active and increasingly impactful weather pattern is setting up across southern Wisconsin, with multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms expected through the end of the week.
The environment will support several windows for strong to severe storms, particularly Monday night into Tuesday and again later in the week as additional disturbances move through.
Warm, humid air and a nearby frontal boundary will provide the fuel for organized convection, including the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes.
At the same time, repeated rainfall events will lead to accumulating totals of several inches, raising concerns for river rises and possible flooding.
