The threat for severe weather returns to Wisconsin on Friday. Let's break down what we know.

What You Need To Know

  • The timing will be from late afternoon to midnight

  • Primary threats include damaging wind and large hail

  • Storms will focus on the southern half of Wisconsin

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has southern Wisconsin under an enhanced risk (3 out of 5 on our scale) for severe weather.

Damaging wind and large hail will be the primary threats with these storms, but we can't rule out the potential for a tornado, along with flash flooding.

Storms will start to develop around 3 p.m. today.

A line of storms will form around 5 p.m. and move eastward through early Friday night. 

The best chance for severe weather will be in southern Wisconsin, especially for those along the Wisconsin/Illinois state line.

Storms should be out of the state by midnight, leaving behind quiet conditions for the rest of the night.
