Warm, Sticky Weather in Southeast Wisconsin With Overnight Storm Clusters

Forecasts call for brief overnight heavy rain and thunder, a very low severe threat, with drier air expected early next week.

Overview

  • Southeast Wisconsin is currently warm, humid and foggy, with daytime highs in the upper 70s to around 80 and overnight lows in the upper 60s to low 70s.
  • A few isolated light showers are possible this afternoon, but a more organized cluster of rain and storms is likely overnight into Saturday morning and another round could pass Saturday night into Sunday morning.
  • Forecasters say the primary hazards will be brief heavy downpours and thunder while the chance of severe storms remains very low.
  • Most daytime hours this weekend are expected to be dry so residents should keep outdoor plans but be prepared for sudden, localized flooding on streets and in low spots during the nocturnal storms.
  • The setup is tied to a nearby stalled front and abundant low‑level moisture, and models show drier, less humid air moving in early next week before additional storm chances return midweek.
