Milwaukee is set for storms the evening of June 3 through the morning of June 4, due to a cold front making its way south through the state.

Taylor Patterson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Milwaukee office, said that the Milwaukee area and other parts of southeastern Wisconsin should expect between an inch to an inch and a half of rain.

“Our main concern with this rain is how heavy the rain will be,” Patterson said. “If it starts falling very quickly, especially later tonight, as people are driving around, urban flooding may be possible.”

The National Weather Service forecasts a high of 83 degrees on June 3. It will be breezy throughout the day and winds will grow stronger in the afternoon, with gusts reaching up to 35 miles per hour in the afternoon.

Storms will grow more likely come nighttime, with between .5 and .75 inches of rain forecast for the city, per the NWS.

Rain should continue the morning of June 4. Temperatures are expected to dip, with a high of 62 degrees forecast. The rest of the week is forecast to remain in the 60s, according to the NWS.

Patterson explained that the potential storms are due to a cold front moving south from northern Wisconsin.

“That will move through the entire state, bringing rain to every single person in Wisconsin, starting this morning through early Wednesday morning,” Patterson said.

However, Patterson said, once the June 3 storms pass, southern Wisconsin should mostly stay dry for the rest of the week, though there is a small chance of light rain on Friday.

Damian Lillard had his second season with the Milwaukee Bucks cut short when he suffered a season-ending injury in the NBA playoffs.

The future Hall of Famer could end up missing most (or all) of next season.

Via Bucks.com (April 28): “Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard underwent an MRI today that revealed a torn left Achilles tendon. Lillard suffered the injury during the first period of last night’s game vs. Indiana.”

On Monday, Lillard (and the Bucks) made an announcement about his recovery.

Via The Milwaukee Bucks: “Dame making strides. 🙌

Many fans reacted to the news on social media.

@milzwoj: “My goat is already running”

@GiannisGoddess: “Dame is such a beast! Feel like this is only the beginning!”

@NateAndree: “This is actually nuts when you think about what he can do in a court and then is now like this working his way back 🙌”

@bucks_fam: “okay… his left leg clearly moves differently. he can’t put weight on his heels.

Praying for him to recover fully, and not rushing back.”

@2SpacelyXFam: “looking forward to the next chapter 🫡”

@James5538: “Technology advancement is incredible. 🙏🏾 For speedy recovery”

Lillard has spent two seasons in Milwaukee.

While there was a lot of hype about him teaming up with Giannis Antetokounmpo, the team has been unable to get out of the first round.

The All-Star point guard finished this past season with averages of 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field and 37.6% from the three-point range.

MILWAUKEE — Two large residential fires displaced dozens of tenants and left two people with injuries on Sunday.

A four-unit building near 87th St. and Villard Ave. was heavily damaged after catching fire around 2 a.m. One firefighter and one resident suffered minor injuries. 14 people from that building are without a home.

Then a 14-unit building near 45th St. and Hampton Ave. went up in flames around 11:45 a.m. No injuries were reported in that fire. The American Red Cross is helping some of the 23 displaced residents at the St. Paul Lutheran Church on 28th St. and Wisconsin Ave.

According to Milwaukee Fire Department Chief Aaron Lipski, neither building had sprinklers.

We NEED to stop sacrificing SURVIVABILITY for AFFORDABILITY.

The lack of building code requirements for sprinklers in older buildings has come under scrutiny after a deadly Mother’s Day fire killed five people.

The cause of both fires is under investigation.
