Severe Storms Could Bring Hail To Milwaukee Metro Thursday: WI Weather

MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee and the rest of southeastern Wisconsin could see severe storms Thursday, bringing with it good chances for hail and strong, damaging winds.

"Expecting multiple round of showers and thunderstorms again today as a warm front lift across southern WI through the afternoon," the National Weather Service said.

"Could see some hail with the morning round of storms. While a cold front pushes through later this afternoon/evening, could see a few stronger to severe storms capable of large hail, damaging winds and cannot rule out a tornado. However that potential will depend on the how long the morning round of showers/storms linger and how far north the warm front lifts."
