More scattered rain and thunderstorms expected for Milwaukee early this week
Manawa director of public works speaks briefly about July 5 flooding
Josh Smith, city of Manawa’s director of Public Works and fire chief for the Manawa Rural Fire Department speaks briefly about flood waters in Manawa, Wisconsin on July 5, 2024.
Continuing a rainy summer, more showers and thunderstorms will move into the Milwaukee area early this week — though no severe weather is expected.
On Sunday, showers and storms are possible further west, and some weak storms might move through later tonight.
Both Monday and Tuesday “looks like fairly scattered activity,” National Weather Service meteorologist Denny VanCleve said. Showers and storms could happen at any point during the day Monday.
Tuesday looks like it could be drier, and any rain or thunder is more likely to happen in the afternoon. More rain is possible on Wednesday and Thursday, but the chances will taper off toward the end of the week.
There “could be a few stronger storms, locally heavy rainfall. But right now, it looks like we don’t have quite the setup for severe weather,” VanCleve said. “Just kind of general daytime thunderstorms that we can often see during a summer day.”
Will Hurricane Beryl impact Wisconsin?
Meteorologists are also tracking the path of Tropical Storm Beryl, which is expected to reach the Texas coast as a hurricane early Monday. The path of impacted areas could include part of southeast Wisconsin, but main areas expected to see higher moisture are central Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and lower Michigan, VanCleve said.
“Whoever does have this come through will probably see good rainfall amounts,” he said, likely around the middle of the week. “We can expect places to probably see at least a couple of inches of rainfall along the higher swath.”
Wisconsin has been hammered by rainfall this summer, causing flooding in some areas. A dam did not fail in the city of Manawa this weekend, but earth on the sides of the dam became eroded enough to give way to the waters behind the dam. The city received about four inches of rain.

This summer “has certainly been on the wetter end,” VanCleve said. “If you look back a year ago, all of Wisconsin was in drought, and parts of southern Wisconsin were in severe drought. And now a year later, we’ve got no areas in Wisconsin are in drought.”
