The latest northeast Wisconsin weather forecast from Storm Team 5…
What an active night of strong storms and flooding rains Wednesday! Funnel cloud reports are coming out of Fond du Lac County near Lamartine, and in Marquette County in Westfield. Observed tornado reports were just south of our TV news market in Fox Lake (near Beaver Dam) and Hustisford, both in Dodge County.
Many reports of flooding came in from the southern half of the area as well, as 1 to 3 inches of rain soaked the ground, with pockets of heavier rain where 3 to 5 inches of total rain came down in just about 6 hours or less. The most flooding occurred near the lakeshore in Manitowoc/Sheboygan counties, the communities surrounding Lake Winnebago, and further west near Wautoma in Waushara County.
After some clouds and light rain/drizzle early Thursday morning, plan on emerging sunshine with some passing clouds from time to time during the day. The high cools off big time from yesterday with temperatures cool in the morning and only reaching the low 70s in the afternoon. The humidity will be comfortable for the next two days, going up again Saturday.
Tonight, clear skies with another cool summer night ahead. The low is 53 degrees, and the average low is 60 degrees if you wanted to compare.
Cool Friday morning with very nice afternoon highs in the middle 70s. Humidity stays low with mostly sunny skies.
Friday night and Saturday morning will be the next chance for spotty showers and thunderstorms. It won’t rain all day Saturday with a high of 77 degrees. Humidity will tick up again.
A little humid on Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds. The high is 78 degrees.
