Another round of severe storms like Wednesday afternoon and evening

CBS 58

All of southeast Wisconsin saw strong and severe storms Wednesday. During the early to late afternoon hours, we had a line of severe storms roll in from the west. These storms saw wind gusts over 80 mph in some area. Oshkosh reported a wind gust of 94 mph! The strong winds were responsible for dozens of wind damage reports including building damage, trees down and power outages. 

In terms of rainfall, the storms moved through very quickly so they didn't drop too much rain. Rain totals across most of southeast Wisconsin ranged from 0.25"-1.00" of rain. 

Now we get ready for the next round of storms. After a dry start to Thursday, a round of rain and some storms is possible from 11 AM - 2 PM. Some of those storms could be a bit on the stronger side but widespread severe weather is not expected. The better timing for some strong to severe storms will be from 3-9 PM.

Once again all of southeast Wisconsin is in the Level 3 Enhanced Risk for severe storms. The forcing for the storms will be along the cold front that arrives this afternoon. Temperatures will not be as hot today with most seeing highs around 80 and dew points around 70. 


The severe threats are very similar to Wednesday so all types of severe impacts are possible. The tornado and flooding threats are a bit higher than Wednesday but damaging wind remains the primary threat. Some hail is also possible. 

The storms on Thursday could bring more heavy rain than they did on Wednesday. Rain totals will heavily depend on the storms that we see but up to 2" of rain will be possible in areas that see the strongest storms. Others could see less with a quarter or half inch of rain possible for those that just see rain or passing storms.
