Thunderstorm Risk

Low pressure and a cold front is expected to slide southeastward across the region today. The front will interact with the warm and humid air mass to bring a round of showers and thunderstorms to the region during this time. The most favorable time for this activity will be later this afternoon, as the low and cold front moves through the region. Showers and a few thunderstorms are likely during this period.

The marginal severe weather risk previously in place from Storm Prediction Center has been removed for southern Wisconsin.
