Tuesday forecast shows rain throughout Wisconsin, central-southern areas to get the most
Torrential rain drenches southern Wisconsin amid severe weather
Torrential rain battered southern Wisconsin on Friday, June 21, as a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for the region. Footage from X user @packbrewfan shows heavy rain coming down in Sun Prairie. The National Weather Service warned of a severe thunderstorm bringing possible quarter-sized hail, wind gusts up to 60 mph, and a possible tornado on Friday. The agency said the severe weather would end on Friday evening and resume with a second wave on Saturday . Credit: @packbrewfan via Storyful
Parts of central and southern Wisconsin are forecast to receive the heaviest amounts of rain on Tuesday as a system is expected to dump up to 2 inches of rain in parts of the state.
That’s according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service that shows the most significant rainfall southwest of the Madison area, in Dodgeville and Darlington. Milwaukee and other parts of southeastern Wisconsin are not expected to receive as much rain, with the forecast between .1-1.25 inch of rain for Milwaukee.
“You could see some heavy rain with that stuff, not necessarily for the Milwaukee area, but the areas west of the I-90 corridor,” said Kevin Wagner, a meteorologist at the Milwaukee office of the NWS.
Heavy rainfall and potential localized flooding in some areas is the main concern with the system, but Wagner said that wind gusts could be high as well. Those concerns are more likely southwest of Madison and into Iowa, he said.
Milwaukee should see scattered showers through the morning, before a brief lull in the midday, Wagner said. Around 5 p.m., rainfall is expected to return in central Wisconsin and gradually move towards Milwaukee.
Rain should return in heavier amounts to southeast Wisconsin with thunderstorm potential at night.
The NWS has also issued a high swim risk along the lakeshore line, between Sheboygan and Kenosha, through Tuesday evening. A high swim risk indicates that currents can be strong and that waves could be three to five feet tall or higher.
The alert says to “stay out of the water and away from dangerous areas like piers and break walls.”
Fourth of July forecast
The forecast for the Fourth of July is showing chances of rain in the Milwaukee area, but it may not ruin most of the day’s activities, Wagner said.
However, the rainfall is expected to have the highest chances later in the night and into Friday morning. That means that most of the holiday should be dry, he said.
“The trends have been pushing those rain chances back, so better chances for rain are going to be as early as Thursday evening and the better chance into Thursday night into Friday morning,” he said.
Wagner said there will likely be persistent showers on Friday.

Jake Cave hits an RBI single in the 10th inning to lift the Rockies over the Brewers 8-7

DENVER (AP) — Jake Cave came through with a bases-loaded single over a five-man infield in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Colorado Rockies an 8-7 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.
Brenton Doyle homered twice and Charlie Blackmon went deep on his birthday for the third time in his career to help the Rockies outlast the Brewers.
William Contreras homered among his three hits for Milwaukee, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. Willy Adames had three hits, including an RBI single to ignite a three-run eighth that put the Brewers back in front 7-6.
Doyle homered for the second time in the game, a two-out solo shot in the bottom of the eighth off Elvis Peguero, to produce the fourth tie of the night at 7-all.
Tyler Kinley (4-1) picked up the win with a scoreless 10th inning, getting out of a jam by striking out Garrett Mitchell.
Pinch-runner Aaron Schunk began the bottom of the 10th as the automatic runner at second base. He advanced to third when Michael Toglia fied out against Joel Payamps (1-5). Milwaukee then intentionally walked Doyle and Nolan Jones to load the bases. The Brewers brought in an outfielder to load the infield with an extra defender, but Cave lined a clean single into the wide-open outfield to score Schunk with the winning run.
Milwaukee took a 4-3 lead on Contreras’ solo homer in the fifth, which came after plate umpire Brennan Miller ejected Pat Murphy. Miller tossed the Brewers’ manager for arguing a call that Joey Ortiz ran out of the baseline while eluding pitcher Austin Gomber’s tag on a bunt.
Colorado regained the lead with a pair of runs in the fifth and added another in the sixth on Jones’ run-scoring double.
The Rockies bolted to a 3-0 lead behind Doyle’s two-run drive to straightaway center field off Bryse Wilson in the second and Blackmon’s solo shot off Wilson in the third.
Blackmon, who turned 38 on Monday, got the green light on a 3-0 pitch and drove Wilson’s offering 431 feet to center field. He also homered on his birthday in 2022 against Arizona and 2011 versus Kansas City, which also was the first of his 14-year major league career.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Brewers: Ortiz returned to the starting lineup for the first time since leaving last Wednesday’s game against Texas with neck stiffness. He did make an appearance Saturday as a pinch runner against the Cubs. … Mitchell was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and made his season debut when he entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh. He was placed on the IL in late March with fractured left index finger.
Rockies: OF Kris Bryant, sidelined the last month because of a bruised left rib, resumed baseball activities for the first time since sustaining the injury. It’s anticipated he’ll go on a minor league rehab assignment before rejoining the big league club. … RHP Germán Márquez is slated to leave for Double-A Hartford in the next day or two for another rehab outing in his ongoing bid to return from Tommy John surgery. Márquez missed most of last season after undergoing reconstructive elbow surgery in May 2023.
UP NEXT
Game 2 of the four-game series pits Milwaukee LHP Dallas Keuchel (0-0, 11.25 ERA) against RHP Ryan Feltner (1-7, 5.82).
