It's going to be a rough night across Wisconsin as a powerful cold front pushes east through the state. Along and ahead of this front, numerous storms will impact our western counties first and then progress east. Damaging winds, hail, torrential rain and even a few tornadoes will all be possible with tonight's storms. Additional rainfall of 1-3" could lead to flash flooding in locations that have already seen heavy rain in recent days.
Friday will turn drier and windy behind the front with west winds gusting from 30-40 mph at times. High temperatures for most will be reached by midday with slowly falling temperatures during the afternoon as cooler air arrives.
Saturday looks fantastic with plenty of sunshine and highs back in the upper 70s. A weak system will race through Saturday night bringing scattered storms but this should already be out of the region by early Sunday morning. All in all, Sunday should be another nice day with partly cloudy skies and highs in the 70s and low 80s.
