The severe storms Wednesday moved through pretty quickly so rain totals stayed manageable with 0.25-1" of rain possible. Heavier rain is possible with the storms today.

Storms today could bring more heavy rain than yesterday, but will heavily depend on where the strongest storms set up. Up to 2" of rain will be possible in the strongest storms while others get only a quarter or half inch of rain that see just rain or a few light storms.

All severe threats are on the table again for storms Thursday afternoon/evening. The tornado and flooding threat is a bit higher than Wednesday but damaging wind remains the primary threat. Some hail is also possible.

Interrupting your storm posts to announce that the sunset tonight is at 8:30 PM. It only stays later than 8:30 PM for a few weeks until sunset starts to get earlier and earlier after the solstice on June 21st.

The strong to severe storms today and tomorrow will be very efficient rain makers. A soaking 0.50-1.50" of rain is possible with storms Wednesday. Thursday's storms could bring even heavier rain pushing rainfall totals between 2-4" for southeast Wisconsin by the time storms end.

Saint is our featured pet today! After some morning fog we are pretty dry for the morning dog walks and even lunch dog walks but severe storms are likely later this afternoon/evening so get the long walks in early. Warm and very humid with feels like temps in the 90s.

High temperatures and peak feels like temps will all depend on when afternoon storms arrive. Most of us see highs in the upper 80s with dew points in the low 70s pushing feels like temps into the upper 90s in some areas.

Damaging wind will be the biggest threat with any severe storms today but a few tornadoes are possible. Flash flooding and wet basements are a decent threat but might be worse Thursday. Some hail is also possible.

We should stay mostly dry this morning with a cluster of storms staying to our north. The better chance for storms starts after 2 PM and lasts through the late evening. Strong to severe storms are likely.

Th rain from Monday into Tuesday saw the heaviest downpours in western counties where some saw over an inch. Much less in lakeside communities where totals were generally under a quarter inch and some only saw a few hundredths.
