Storms to target Southeast Wisconsin with severe threat Monday night
Damaging winds, hail and tornadoes are possible.
CALL NOW FOR A FREE ESTIMATE. ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE STORM RISKS AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. STARTING OFF IN THE MORNING HOURS, WE COULD HAVE AN ISOLATED CHANCE OF SOME HAIL WITH AN INITIAL LINE BY THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE EXPECTING QUIET CONDITIONS, BUT THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT, WHEN THE COLD FRONT STARTS TO MOVE IN HERE, THAT’S WHERE WE COULD HAVE SOME STRONG WINDS, HAIL AND EVEN SOME ISOLATED TORNADO THREATS. SO SOMETHING WE’LL BE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY FOR TOMORROW. WE’VE GOT A LEVEL TWO AND ALSO A LEVEL THREE OUT OF FIVE ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN. GREATER CHANCE FOR SOME ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. FURTHER UP TOWARDS THE NORTH, YOU CAN SEE THE DELLS IS UNDER THAT RED COLOR, WHICH IS A LEVEL FOUR OUT OF FIVE. THIS IS LIKELY TO BE KIND OF THAT BULL’S EYE OF WHERE THE WORST OF THE POTENTIAL WILL EXIST WITH THOSE STORMS. AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. AND THEN AS THAT LINE MOVES EASTWARD, IT WILL START TO MOVE INTO A LITTLE BIT LESS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE SEVERE WEATHER TO CONTINUE. BUT WE’RE ALL GOING TO BE WATCHING THIS VERY CLOSELY HERE AT WEATHER WATCH 12. THE STORM ITSELF IS RIGHT NOW MOVING EAST OF THE ROCKIES, AND IT IS GOING TO BE SPARKING OFF SOME STRONG STORMS LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. YOU CAN SEE ALREADY A LEVEL TWO OUT OF FIVE IN THE COLOR OF YELLOW SHADED WITH THAT LINE MOVING EASTWARD AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERNIGHT, CLOUDS COULD ACTUALLY START TO BUILD IN A LITTLE BIT HERE, WITH SOME MOISTURE MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTH, AND THERE COULD BE AN INITIAL LINE AS WE HEAD INTO LATE OVERNIGHT EARLY TOMORROW MORNING, SOME OF THESE POP UP SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD HAVE SOME HAIL THREAT WITH IT. NOW, ONCE THAT LIFTS NORTHWARD, WE WILL START TO CLEAR SKIES OUT. WE’LL ALSO BE WATCHING LATE MORNING EARLY AFTERNOON FOR ANY ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS THAT PUSH THROUGH, BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW IT TURNS PRETTY CLEAR BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING, WE’LL WATCH ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP WHERE THEY SET UP. THAT WILL REMAIN A GOOD QUESTION, AND WE’LL BE WATCHING THE RADAR VERY CLOSELY HERE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FUTURECAST ARE IN-HOUSE MODELS SHOWING THE WORST OF IT STAYING UP TO THE NORTH, BUT THERE’S A LOT OF INGREDIENTS IN PLAY. IT ONLY TAKES ONE STORM TO POP UP FOR IT TO BE AN ISSUE FOR US. SO SOMETHING WE’RE WATCHING VERY CLOSELY, THERE’S NO GUARANTEE THAT WE’LL HAVE SEVERE WEATHER HERE IN SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN, BUT YOU’LL WANT TO STAY ALERT WITH THOSE STORMS AND STAY UP TO DATE HERE WITH WEATHER WATCH 12, AS WE ALSO COULD BE DEALING WITH A CAP, WHICH KIND OF HOLDS THE POTENTIAL FOR THOSE STORMS TO DEVELOP. SO A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY. BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF INGREDIENTS IN PLACE. 73 FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE TOMORROW, UPPER 70S INLAND. THEN THOSE ARE RAIN SHOWERS AND STORMS MOVING OUT OF HERE BY TUESDAY MORNING, DRY WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY, BUT RAIN CHANCES DO RETURN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THAT’S A LOOK AT YOU
