Wisconsin Weather Update

Scattered storms this evening, more storms tomorrow night, then dry.

A weak upper-level disturbance could develop a few scattered thunderstorms late this afternoon and into this evening, then a cold front moves through tomorrow night, developing more scattered thunderstorms across Wisconsin. A large area of high pressure looks to move through the Midwest starting later on Sunday and lingering through Wednesday, so we should be dry for a few days again. But with all the rain we’ve finally gotten over the last few days, I won’t mind. Seasonal summer temperatures are generally expected, so get out and enjoy!
