Well, it’s not necessarily beach weather this evening. No, not at all, Mark. More rain and storms are on the way. I mean, it’s hard to say no, it’s it’s in the 80s today and so you’re like, hey, it’s finally so nice. You can go to the beach. Just don’t get in the water. I mean, I’ll let you dip your toes. It’s fine. That’s it. And then let’s bring it out because those currents, it doesn’t matter how strong of *** swimmer you are, it is really, really powerful. So keep that in mind as we work our way through the summer when actually Lake Michigan warms up, because right now Lake Michigan is 51 degrees. It’s not exactly fun to get in. Let’s talk about the first round that rolled through of storms came through really quickly this afternoon, uh, flying at about 5. 5 MPH along with that there were some strong winds, gusts in *** few spots in excess of 45 MPH. So 54 mile per hour wind gusts in Walworth, that was the strongest gust that we saw. We could see some gusts again as we head into round two later on this evening. There are still *** fair number of customers without power, 2000 customers without power in Kenosha, 10 in Kenosha County, Racine County at 1000. And then uh if you put Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties together just at 1100, so still *** number of you without power. Uh, we do have some breaks in the overcast. We’re fairly late in the game to be able to get enough sun to start cooking the atmosphere again. And making things really uh unstable, we got some instability, just not *** lot. That’s why you’re not seeing *** lot of thunder on anything along this line. So far it’s just *** line of showers. There is *** severe thunderstorm watch out to the west of us does not include southeastern Wisconsin. By 9 o’clock, that line of storms crashing through all of Southeastern Wisconsin. Heavy rain is the biggest concern that I have, uh, but even that shouldn’t add up to more than 1 inch and *** half in most spots. And I think right now the ground can pretty much take that. As we head into tomorrow, tomorrow morning, during the morning commute, still some showers hanging around. Then we dry it out and we stay dry as we head into Thursday, just much cooler air, uh, than we’ve had over the last couple of days. How much rain? 1 inch to 1 inch and *** half expected across most of southeastern Wisconsin. Uh, you can see much of the state picking up some rain. So good chance we see more of that rain tonight, late this evening and overnight. Wednesday morning, yep, we’re gonna see some more scattered showers in the morning. *** tiny chance Thursday and Friday and another chance of showers on Sunday. Don’t change your plans on any of those days, Thursday, Friday, or Sunday because that’s really, really hit and miss most of the time it’s gonna be just fine to be outside. Some of you with clouds, some of you *** little peak of sun here and there, and temperatures have warmed up. Air quality thankfully with the rain that came through is better, but there’s still an air quality advisory for the entire state until noon on Wednesday. Then it should get much better as we kick that nasty air out. Lake Tem 51 temperatures right now, warm dew points are nasty right. Around 70, it’s been *** while since we’ve had that the drier air works back in for tomorrow. Still gusty winds out there, high swim risk again continues, uh, and it’ll still be, uh, *** little on the bad side tomorrow morning, but it’s not exactly *** great time to be in the water. Morning showers for tomorrow and then we dry it out, maybe *** little sun later in the day. Back to 70s on Thursday. Chances. Showers later on Friday, Saturday, all right, Sunday, *** few showers, most of the day is fine. 75 on Sunday, 70 on Monday, 72 degrees on Tuesday. And so overall looking pretty good. If you like it really hot, hopefully you like the last couple of days. Absolutely take advantage of that, Mark. Thank you. You’ll be back to the golf course before long. I’ll be right back.

Southeast Wisconsin saw a line of showers and thunderstorms move through Tuesday afternoon, bringing gusty winds and some fast-moving downpours. Here’s a quick look at the highest wind gusts recorded: This first line of storms also caused some tree limbs to come down in Darien, Delavan and Sharon in Walworth County.Rainfall amounts ranged from about a tenth to a third of an inch across much of southeastern Wisconsin. Although there were some heavy downpours, the storms moved quickly and didn’t produce prolonged rainfall.The first line of thunderstorms has weakened and is now moving over Lake Michigan. Between now and around 6 p.m., expect just a few scattered showers here and there.After 7 p.m., there are signs of redevelopment along the leading edge of a cold front pushing through. These could bring additional heavy showers, gusty winds, and possibly small hail in the stronger storms. The risk of severe weather should wrap up by around 11 p.m., but rain will continue into the overnight hours and could linger into the Wednesday morning commute.By around lunchtime Wednesday, rain should move out, and skies will start to clear. Temperatures will be cooler, with highs in the 60s by the lake and around 70 degrees inland.An Air Quality Advisory is in effect until noon Wednesday. This is for all of southeast Wisconsin.
