An earlier-than-anticipated, but warned-about round of storms went through from noon to 1:30 p.m. in our southern counties.
Lots of damage is being reported from Rock, Walworth, and Racine/Kenosha, and specifically the Lake Geneva area.
What's next? The atmosphere has already recovered somewhat. There's plenty of energy around, so I do still anticipate an evening round of storms. If they pop too late, they miss the energy window and will be sub severe. The main risks are near the state line. SE WI is just a smidgen in a 2/5 risk right now.
Watch: When could we see another round of storms?
Then we look ahead to the 4th. If you have outdoor plans, you need to really watch the forecast. While I think there are some pop-ups in the morning, right now, from what I'm seeing, that's the good part of the day.
It's the evening that things start to pop again and become scattered - especially near the state line.
Should stay sub-severe, but small hail, downpours, and gusty winds are the risks. Fireworks will be at risk. Parades may make it out of this one. Timing this type of system is a nightmare.
Sunday is muggy and warm with 80s still. Another shot at sub-severe storms.
TONIGHT: More scattered storms late this evening. Some chance of strong to severe, but it's near the state line.
Low: 70
Wind: SW 5-10
SATURDAY : Chance of isolated morning storms (very sporadic if at all), then scattered evening storms possible, especially near the state line.

SUNDAY: Chance of afternoon storms. Below severe limits.
High: 80
Wind: NW 5-10
MONDAY: Mostly Sunny. Less humid.

TUESDAY: Mostly sunny. Sticky.
High: 80
WEDNESDAY: Hot and sticky
