This is WILD. Take a look at the numbers of Tornado Warnings going back to 2005 in SE WI (by county). So far in 2026...SE WI has experienced 33 tornado warnings (the most since 2005 and it's only June). Of the 33 tornado warnings this year, there have been 18 confirmed tornadoes in SE WI (keeping in mind some tornadoes span more than 1 county). Posted: 6/23/26

5:20pm Tuesday 6/23: T-Storm chances return on Wednesday. Heavy rain possible in the morning with non-severe storms. An afternoon break is possible. If we warm up into the 70s (with dew points in the 60s), scattered afternoon/evening t-storms with wind/hail will be possible.

6/22 10:23pm: Another beautiful day on Tuesday, cooler near the lake. Morning rain/non-severe storms on Wednesday (heavy rain possible). Scattered severe storms with wind/hail possible Wednesday afternoon/evening. Temperatures in the 70s through the end of the week. Summertime heat and humidity will return starting Sunday and continuing through most of next week.

Here is the latest on the low end severe weather threat for Wednesday 6/24. Heavy rain is the greatest threat, but some hail/wind is possible if storms can get strong enough. Tuesday will be quiet with highs in the 60s near the lake/70s inland. Posted: Mon. 6/22. 9:25pm.

Wow. This is the first time I've ever been mentioned in a church sermon. Huge thank you to Pastor Luke Dufek and the folks at Woodbridge Community Church in New Berlin for the incredible shoutout at Sunday's church service. It really means the world. I know how these storms have been scary and it truly is my passion to keep everyone safe. Knowing that people, like Pastor Luke, watched our coverage, really hits home. ❤️⛪️

⚡️ Storm update for Wednesday AND summer heat/humidity on the way. Posted: Mon. 6/22. #weather #Milwaukee #Wisconsin

Sun. 6/21 10:21pm: We have a below average week ahead in terms of temperatures, although comfortable for late June. T-Storm chances return on Wednesday and Friday. Widespread severe weather is not expected at this time. Enjoy this "cooler" weather now because the summertime heat will likely build in next week (week of 6/29).

Welcome to Summer! I know...it didn't feel like it today. Rain will move out overnight. Cooler near the lake on Monday and Tuesday. Where is the summer heat? It is coming, but it won't be here until next week (week of 6/29). So enjoy these cooler temperatures and low humidity levels while we still have them! 😀

@can52309145 Luck of the draw. Sharp cutoff with sinking air.

@tomwachstv And how does the system move north all day and then just stop at I-94? What is the meteorological reason?

5:25pm Sun. 6/21: The rain is stopping right around the I-94 corridor! Don't expect this sharp cutoff to move too much tonight. So if you are north...no rain. If you are Milwaukee and south...you've got the rain. Steadiest rain near the IL border. The rain will end overnight.

@can52309145 You of course! 😂😂

@tomwachstv Who?

@DaBobSwerski @can52309145 😂😂😂

@tomwachstv @can52309145 Careful tweeting about weather control 😂😂😂

@can52309145 You know who I blame for this right?

@tomwachstv Absolutely ridiculous. It was supposed to rain all afternoon and into the evening “with the heaviest amounts to the south.” 👎🏻 And now a last minute update to “no rain” for anyone north of 94. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

4:34pm Sun. 6/21: The record streak of Illinois tornadoes continues today (unfortunately). While rain is moving into southern Wisconsin, the southern end of this system is intense and is producing tornadoes. We don't have to worry about that in southern Wisconsin.

☔ Rain Tonight… 🌊 Cooler Near the Lake Monday. Are You Ready for the Heat Coming Next Week (6/29)? Posted: Sun. 6/21 #weather #Milwaukee #Wisconsin

Sunday 6/21 3:07pm: Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! We made it through the Road America race without any rain. The rain will move in over the next few hours from the south. Heaviest rain (0.25"-0.75") along the IL border. 0.10"-0.25" Milwaukee/I-94 corridor. Lesser amounts north. This rain will end overnight. Dry and partly sunny on Monday. 74 inland, 65 lake with a northeast wind. Big time heat starts in a little over a week.
