Showers Tonight With Isolated Thunderstorms

High Swim Risk For Sheboygan County Beaches

August 18 Damage Survey Results

Pleasant weather through the rest of the afternoon. Showers expected tonight through tomorrow morning. There may be an isolated thunderstorm embedded with the showers. Lows tonight will be low to mid 60s, before heating back up tomorrow afternoon. There is a chance for some showers to linger into tomorrow afternoon, especially along the lakeshore in the southeast corner of the state.

A High Swim Risk is in effect this afternoon and evening for the Lake Michigan beaches in Sheboygan County. This is due to persistent and gusty south winds building high waves to this area. Stay out of the water and away from dangerous areas like piers and break walls. A Moderate Swim Risk for the Lake Michigan beaches in Ozaukee County is also expected during this period.

Damage surveys from the August 18 severe thunderstorms found multiple areas of 70-80 MPH straight line wind damage from western Washington County southeast into Waukesha County and the city of Milwaukee. One brief tornado was confirmed near the villages of Colgate and Richfield in southern Washington County, and was rated EF0 with maximum wind speeds of 80 MPH.
