7:28pm Tuesday Storm Update: Hail has perked up in southwestern Walworth county moving ENE. This will impact Lake Geneva with hail to the size of pennies. This entire line is lifting ENE with hail being the primary threat along with gusty winds and heavy rain. No warnings right now, but if hail size estimates reach the size of a quarter, a severe t-storm warning will be issued.
7:47pm Tuesday: No warnings right now, but a lot of rain and some hail in these storms. Storms are moving ENE which means the heaviest rain will train near the IL border and north toward Racine.
