The severe weather threat from a line of storm moving through southwest Wisconsin includes high winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes. Heavy rain is also possible, which could lead to some areas of flash flooding.
This line of storms comes a few hours after parts of Jefferson and Waukesha counties saw a severe thunderstorm. The Watertown Airport recorded a 60 miles-per-hour wind gust, with reports of several trees down near the city.
It also comes one day after parts of southeast Wisconsin saw hail and high winds, mostly north and west of Milwaukee.
