Occasional rain and thunderstorms are expected today, with torrential rainfall expected at times. Rain will end by late afternoon, with fog looking increasingly likely tonight. Some dense fog is possible. Hot and humid weather is then expected for Sunday and Monday.

Chances for showers and storms will gradually increase from the south late this afternoon into the overnight, with shower/storm chances continuing on Saturday. Storms will be scattered in nature. Severe weather is not anticipated, but lightning and heavy downpours are expected.

Scattered showers and a few storms were moving southeast and may affect the Berlin, Fond du Lac and Sheboygan areas into early this evening. Brief heavy rainfall and cloud-to-ground lightning may occur with any storms. Go indoors if any storms approach your location. #swiwx #wiwx

The heat and humidity will continue today. Clouds and potential storms within the vicinity of a front this afternoon will help limit the heat indices a little. If we have a prolonged period of sunshine today, then any storms that develop could be strong this afternoon. #wiwx

A cold front is expected to come through tomorrow afternoon, which may limit heat indices between 100 - 105 from occurring tomorrow. However, high heat indices near 100 may occur in southeast Wisconsin, where temperatures will have time to rise before the front arrives. #wiwx

The Heat Advisory will remain in effect until 8pm. Heat Indices will approach 100 - 105 over the next few hours, with locally higher indices possible, as we've warmed well following morning storms. If you plan on being outside, please take frequent breaks and stay hydrated! #wiwx

Showers and storms continue across southern WI this morning. Heavy downpours and cloud to ground lightning are main concerns. Precipitation on the backside of storms continues to shift north while storms generally have continue to progress east-northeast. #wiwx
