.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 329 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025

Three rounds of rain are expected to move across the area through
late tonight. The first round of rain is moving across the area
this afternoon. Some of the stronger thunderstorms were producing
gust winds of 30 to 50 mph, small hail and brief heavy rain. This
band has produced 0.75 to 1.25 inches of rain across central WI.
This first band of showers should move to the northeast of the
area by late afternoon. This first band should exit to the
northeast of the area by late afternoon. This first band should
wipe out much of the instability from daytime heating this
afternoon. The second round of showers and a few thunderstorms
will move into the area on the heels of the first band late
this afternoon or early this evening. Finally, the third round of
rain will only impact far eastern Wisconsin late this evening and
overnight.

As the front drifts eastward this evening, low clouds and
fog/smoke are expected. An Air Quality Advisory is in effect until
noon Wednesday, and possibly could be extended Wednesday morning.
Low humidity values return Wednesday afternoon and Thursday
afternoon as high pressure dominates the pattern.

An unsettled pattern is anticipated Friday through Monday. Did
include thunder each afternoon and early evening due to daytime
heating on Friday and Saturday. A more widespread rainfall is
expected Sunday as a cold front brings another round of showers
and storms. It is possible some of the storms on Friday and
Saturday could produce small hail, but not confident to add it
to the Hazardous Weather Outlook. It still certain if any of the
storms on Sunday would become severe. Temperatures will be at or
below normal through the weekend.
