One or possibly multiple clusters of storms will move through southern Wisconsin from this evening into the overnight hours. One of two scenarios look to play out: either a single cluster of storms will move through during the overnight hours, or multiple storm clusters will move through during the evening and overnight hours. Storm progression scenarios should clarify by this afternoon. All severe weather hazards will be possible in any storm clusters, including the potential for wind gusts exceeding 70 MPH. Have multiple ways to receive warning information, including a way to be woken up if warnings are issued after you go to bed.
Additional thunderstorms are possible Monday, with the exact location and intensity of storm development being highly dependent on the evolution of storms happening this evening and tonight. Additional severe weather would be possible in the event that storms develop. Exact details given timing and placement of storms may not clarify until Monday morning, so keep up with later forecast updates.
Hot and humid conditions continue today through Monday across southern Wisconsin. A Heat Advisory remains in effect between Noon and 9 PM this afternoon for most of the area. If showers and storms don't interfere, additional Heat Advisories may be needed on Monday.
