Article Title: No Severe Storms Forecast for Southern Wisconsin This Weekend, but Heat and Humidity Remain
Southern Wisconsin residents can breathe a sigh of relief as the weather forecast for this weekend does not indicate a high risk of severe storms. However, the region will remain warm and humid, with temperatures expected to hover around the mid-80s and heat indices similar to actual temperatures.
According to the latest meteorological data, Saturday will see a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with partly sunny conditions and a high near 86°F. Sunday's forecast is less specific but indicates a continued chance of showers and storms.
While severe storms are not forecast for this weekend, isolated damaging winds and scattered showers and thunderstorms are still a possibility. These storms could potentially bring heavy rain, gusty winds, and hail, much like they did in Southern Wisconsin earlier this week.
As we look beyond the weekend, the next opportunity for strong to severe storms in the region is expected on Tuesday. The combination of heat, humidity, and storm chances makes it necessary to stay weather aware.
The weekend is designated a "First Alert Day" due to an unsettled atmosphere and a slow-moving frontal boundary. This means that while severe storms are not forecast, there is a higher than usual chance of showers and thunderstorms, particularly during afternoons and evenings.
On Friday, Southern Wisconsin will experience a warm and humid climate, with temperatures reaching the upper 80s and low 90s, and heat indices climbing into the upper 90s. The weekend will continue to be warm and humid, with temperatures generally remaining in the low to mid 80s.
It's advisable to keep flexible plans, especially for outdoor events, school activities, or work shifts. The weekend storm chances will persist into early next week, with the frontal boundary lingering and potentially triggering microbursts due to dry air aloft.
In summary, while severe storms are not forecast for this weekend in Southern Wisconsin, the main storm threat shifts to Tuesday. The weather will remain warm and humid throughout the weekend and into early next week, with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected. Stay weather aware and stay safe!
