Evening Update: Keeping an eye on storms in Iowa
Updated: Saturday, June 24th 6:45pm:
All is quiet right now in southeast Wisconsin, but there's action to our west. A few clusters of thunderstorms have developed in Iowa and Minnesota and are largely tracking northeast.
These storms have been strong to severe at times, but there is better instability and higher dew points where storms are occurring compared to southeast Wisconsin.
We're expecting additional storms to develop over the next couple of hours between Davenport and Dubuque. These would track into southeastern WI between 10pm and 1am but would be on a weakening trend with a very low severe threat.
As the low pressure system tracks into the state Sunday, we'll see additional rounds of scattered showers and storms. We'll have to keep an eye on the 9am-1pm timeframe as we'll see an uptick in humidity ahead of the cold front.
While we're not in a severe risk per the SPC, the humidity combined with shifting winds with the front could produce isolated rotation in storms that pop. We'll need some morning sunshine for this to come to fruition, but it's something to keep on your radar.
Waves of scattered showers and storms continue off and on through Sunday and most of Monday. Most of southeast Wisconsin will likely end up in the .25-.75" range by the time this system moves east, but higher totals are possible in places that see multiple storms.

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58)--We can split the first weekend of summer into two parts. Sunny and warm for Saturday, stormy and a bit humid for Sunday. Look for highs well in the 80s on Saturday along with that Air Quality Alert. Then Sunday we contend with rounds of showers and storms, some strong, throughout the day as low pressure enter the picture from the west. We get on the backside of low pressure on Monday keeping showers and thunder in the forecast for that day. Rainfall amounts, by the way, into early next week could an inch for some. Perhaps more depending how and where these storms set up across the region.
