Milwaukee Weather: Severe storms expected
Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell
MILWAUKEE - An active and potentially impactful weather pattern remains locked in across southern Wisconsin, with multiple rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms expected through midweek. The primary concern is a continued threat for damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, and locally heavy rainfall, especially as storms redevelop Tuesday afternoon and evening. A stalled frontal boundary will act as a repeated focus for storm development, increasing the risk of training storms and localized flooding concerns. Additional severe weather chances persist into Wednesday and again Friday into Saturday. A much cooler air mass settles in for the weekend, bringing below-normal temperatures and even a low-end chance for some snowflakes in northern areas.
