Heat and humidity with chances for storms this week - Kelly

WHAT WE'RE TRACKING :

• ALERT DAY tomorrow for storms
• Heat and humidity sticks around
• More storm chances this week

PLANNING THE NEXT 24 HOURS : We are watching a cluster of strong storms possible Tuesday, mainly in the afternoon and early evening. It is possible the storms may move just southwest of Madison, where the better chances of ALERT DAY conditions still look to be as of early Tuesday morning. However, some models are putting the main storm track through the heart of the area. We will have to watch for upgrades/updates to the Storm Prediction Center's outlook. Overall, the best chance right now, looks to remain to our southwest. Otherwise, Tuesday is looking muggy, with high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Heat index values could get into the mid to upper 90s. We could see another round of storms overnight into early Wednesday morning.

EXTENDED FORECA ST : Beyond today and tonight, there is another chance of severe weather across southern Wisconsin Wednesday, with ALERT DAY conditions possible from a cluster of storms Wednesday evening and overnight into Thursday with strong winds, heavy rain, and isolated hail being the main threats. Temperatures climb into the upper 80s on Wednesday, although it will feel a lot warmer with high humidity levels. Another round of storms are possible Thursday afternoon, although Wednesday night's storms may take away energy on Thursday for strong storms. The First Warn Weather Team will be keeping a close eye on this. By Friday temperatures will cool down a bit, and that will last heading into the weekend.
