Overview
- Following Sunday's cooler-lakeside sunshine, southeast Wisconsin faces rounds of rain and thunderstorms Monday with the greatest risk late in the day.
- Hail and damaging wind lead the threats, while a lower tornado chance is focused on southern and southwestern counties.
- Heavy rain could cause localized flooding because soils are already saturated from recent storms and river levels are elevated.
- The warm front’s position matters because a more northern track pulls warmer, wetter air into the area, which can fuel stronger storms.
- Morning storms Monday could cap afternoon intensity, so forecasters urge residents to plan for on-and-off rain and check alerts for any watches or warnings.
