Milwaukee, Wis. – Thunderstorms are set to rumble across southeastern Wisconsin tonight and into Sunday, bringing heavy downpours that could slow traffic on major roadways. While forecasters say it will not be a complete washout, periods of rain and thunder are likely to continue through Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, isolated storms will move across the region overnight with temperatures staying in the lower 60s. Sunday may bring another round of heavy showers during the afternoon, especially along the I-94 corridor from Madison to Milwaukee.
