Southeast Wisconsin weather: Potential for strong to severe storms increasing this evening

Storms are already developing in Eastern MN/W WI and this is the line that will impact us this evening. We need the atmosphere to recover (aka sunny = energy) for the storms to move into to be severe. If we don't clear up in time, that's less fuel for them to work with.

Storm Prediction Center has placed much of WI in a level 3 out of 5 risk for today.

Storms will make it here regardless, but the severity may still change. Stay up to date on the latest from the StormTeam 4 team.

The rest of the week is more cordial, with dropping humidity and increasing sunshine. Air quality will need to be monitored.
