Isolated Weak T-Storms This Afternoon

Cool & Quiet Weather Early Next Week

August 18 Damage Survey Results

East-central and southeast WI continue to have some potential for widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms this afternoon, some of which could produce some lightning and 20-40 MPH wind gusts. Stay weather aware, and when thunder roars, go indoors! The lifecycle of each shower / storm should be very short, just a fraction of an hour.

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.
