Forecast from FOX6 Chief Meteorologist Rob Haswell

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.
