FOX6 Weather

Tue. 7/28 11:22pm: Beautiful on Wednesday and Thursday. Rain and T-Storms return on Friday and Saturday. Severe weather is NOT expected from this next system. Gradually warming up on Sunday and Monday.

🌕 LOOK UP TONIGHT! 🌕 If you have clear skies, tonight is one of the best nights of the summer to step outside. The Full Buck Moon rises in the southeast sky at 8:07 PM and becomes especially impressive between 8:30 and 9:00 PM, when it will be glowing low over Lake Michigan. Even if you’re not near the lake, you’ll have a beautiful view as it climbs into the sky. A few fun facts: 🦌 It’s called the Buck Moon because this is the time of year when male deer begin growing new antlers. ⛈️ It’s also known as the Thunder Moon, thanks to the frequent July thunderstorms. 🌕 While the moon officially becomes full at 9:35 AM Wednesday, it will appear completely full to our eyes tonight. With clear skies expected, this should be a fantastic opportunity for moon photography or simply enjoying a beautiful summer evening. 📸 If you capture a great photo, post it in the comments or send it to me. I’d love to feature some of your favorites! Please share this post with your fellow sky watchers! 🌕✨

RT @tomwachstv: We are talking a lot about the Menasha tornado from 7/27/26, but southeastern Wisconsin also got hit hard. 2 rounds of stor…

Here is the latest on the Appleton-Menasha Tornado from 7/27/2026. It was the 4th EF-3 Tornado in the state so far this year (most since 1984). It was roughly 15 football fields wide. Extensive damage. It dropped over Appleton, moved through Menasha and dissipated (likely as a waterspout) over Lake Winnebago.

From drought to downpour. Milwaukee saw record rain for July 27th. Milwaukee hasn't seen this much rain on July 27th in Milwaukee recorded history. Parts of Kenosha county were in the 2-3" range. #weather #rain #Milwaukee

7:18pm Mon. 7/27: No, thank you! Severe t-storm south of Janesville moving into Illinois. Another storm just out over the lake from Racine. This will stay out over the water. We can't rule out a few more pop up storms through midnight until the cold front crosses.

6:24pm 7/27: A few more t-storms are developing to our north. These could stay to our west, but we will be watching closely. We could see t-storms through midnight until a cold front comes through. Our atmosphere is pretty "worked over" from earlier storms, but as the sun is heating us back up, we can't rule out a few more strong storms until the front ends our chances at midnight. We will be watching the radar closely.

Breaking from Nat'l. Weather Service Green Bay: Update from our storm survey team, they are confirming at least EF2 tornado damage in Menasha. The survey is ongoing and we will let everyone know if that changes. 5:22pm Mon. 7/27.

Live news conference regarding Menasha damage. Officials are saying 12:20pm today...east side of Menasha, extensive damage. Many roads impassable. First responders are looking for injured/victims. If you do not need to be in the area, please stay away. Many downed trees and power lines. Shelter in place for those in the area and conserve water. Both water plants are down because of a power outage. Emergency shelters are open (including Menasha library). Posted: 3:15pm 7/27/26

3:01pm Mon. 7/27: Many of you in eastern Walworth Co and western Racine/Kenosha Co just got a cell phone alert for tennis ball sized hail and 70mph winds. While it is possible, I am NOT seeing that on radar right now, this is the same cell that dropped the tornado in Menasha. This line will move into Illinois around 4:15pm. Again, not seeing those high hail/wind signatures right now, but it is possible IF the storm perks up. We are also following significant damage in Menasha (near Appleton).

2:01pm Mon. 7/27: Hearing reports of significant damage in Menasha from a tornado earlier. Also hearing of a possible lightning related fatality in Whitewater earlier. We are watching a line of storms moving north to south through our area. Strong winds and heavy rain possible, hail in Dodge county. Can't rule out a tornado in Dodge county either, although no tornado warning in effect at the time of this post. Also worth noting...heat index 106 in Madison. This line will move into Illinois by 3:30pm. Hopefully this is the last line of storms, but unclear right now.
