Detailed Forecast

From the WFAW Newsroom

MADISON - A late summer warm spell came to a loud-and-damp finish in parts of Wisconsin. Heavy thunderstorms rumbled through the southern part of the state late yesterday afternoon and evening. The National Weather Service said two commercial buildings had significant roof damage about a mile northwest of Hartford. Trees, branches, and power lines fell in parts of Iowa, Dane, Jefferson, and Waukesha counties. One-and-three-quarter inches of rain fell near Madison. Winds hit 60-miles-an-hour in Jefferson County, and parts of Waukesha County had marble-sized hail. Light rain lingered this morning in the far north, and temperatures cooled into the 50’s in almost all of the Badger State. Forecasters say we’ll have fall-like weather through tomorrow, with cooler-and-windy conditions. It may not get above 70 anywhere in Wisconsin today and tomorrow. And there’s a chance of frost in northeast Wisconsin early Sunday morning. It’s supposed to get slightly warmer later on Sunday. And southern Wisconsin could be back in the 80’s by Labor Day.
