Summary
70 mph wind gusts and penny-size hail prompted a severe thunderstorm warning at 1 p.m. for Green, Iowa, Rock and Dane counties, after a broader watch was issued at noon for east central, south central and southeast Wisconsin.
A level 3-of-5 severe weather risk covers southeastern Wisconsin Wednesday, with one storm round expected from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and a second from after 8 p.m. to midnight.
Tornadoes, hail and damaging winds are possible in both rounds, while flooding risk is lower in the afternoon but rises tonight and over the next two days.
Temperatures starting in the 60s are forecast to surge into the 90s as a warm front moves through, with a cold front later Wednesday night into Thursday helping trigger more storms.
Thursday still carries a level 3-of-5 severe risk for most of the region, though uncertainty remains before cooler, less humid air arrives for Friday and the weekend.
