Southern Wisconsin Storm: Hail Thursday Night, Potentially Dangerous Winds by Friday at 3 PM
Beginning Thursday evening and lasting until Friday afternoon, residents in southern Wisconsin should brace themselves for two rounds of possibly severe thunderstorms.
The first wave is predicted to reach late Thursday evening, posing a hail risk to Monroe, Janesville, and Lake Geneva, according to the Milwaukee/Sullivan National Weather Service. As a cold front moves over the area, a second, more powerful round is predicted for Friday afternoon, with hail and destructive winds being the primary hazards.
According to forecast models, heavy storms could start at noon on Friday and last until 3 p.m. in places like Milwaukee, Waukesha, and Kenosha. Although the precise time of both storm rounds is still unknown, experts advise locals to stay informed and have many ways to get weather notifications.
Both storm seasons may cause delays in outdoor activities and inconveniences when traveling. Drivers should be cautious, particularly on Friday at rush hour. It is recommended that residents examine emergency preparations and secure outside objects.
Since timing and intensity may vary with revised models, stay up to current with the National Weather Service and your local emergency management agencies.
