Thunderstorms Late Today into Tonight

Thunderstorm Timing

Heavy Rain Potential Late Today through Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms are expected to push into southwest WI this evening, with additional storms congealing into a line and tracking eastward across the whole region tonight. A few strong to severe storms will be possible, especially from Madison westward.

With the ground still saturated and rivers running high, additional rain may lead to more localized flooding, or prolong ongoing flooding. Above is a map of the expected rainfall from the thunderstorms this evening through tonight. Note that southwestern Wisconsin has the highest expected amounts due to the potential for 2 rounds of thunderstorms: scattered activity this evening plus an additional line of storms tonight. Areas further east receive only the fast-moving line of storms late tonight, and are expected to receive less rainfall.
