" The greatest risk appears to be westward, from Sheboygan to Lake Geneva, with the highest probabilities towards Wisconsin Dells. Looking ahead, the forecast suggests unsettled weather will persist, with chances for more thunderstorms from Wednesday night into Thursday. The NWS advisory indicates, "A 30 percent chance of showers after 1pm," on Wednesday, with increasing odds of precipitation by nightfall.

With temperatures gradually decreasing throughout the week, Thursday could bring about showers and perhaps another thunderstorm, with "new rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible." For those looking toward the weekend, the forecast hints at a respite from the recent stormy trend. Saturday is anticipated to be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-50s, while Sunday promises even warmer conditions with abundant sunshine and highs in the low 60s.
