MADISON, Wis. (CIVIC MEDIA) – Weekend weather brings rounds of showers and storms that may be severe, threatening more damage and dragging flood risks back.

A front will slowly shimmy through the state, starting Friday afternoon, August 15 and not leaving until potentially Tuesday, August 19 around midday.

The front brings to the Midwest several rounds of heavy rain and thunderstorms.

There’s potential for strong to severe storms that could punch with high damaging winds and hail, along with flooding.

Slight Risk (yellow) issued by Storm Prediction Center for Friday August 15, 2025.

Saturday morning, August 16 through midday, a strong line of storms is forecasted to swing though the state. Behind that, temporary relief may be coming up north.

Scattered heavy thunderstorms are currently forecasted to then shoot south through Saturday afternoon and into the evening.

Then, rain looks to line up on a stalled front overnight, continuing into Monday, August 18 – areas under it may see flooding.

Slight Risk (yellow) issued by Weather Prediction Center for excessive rainfall Saturday.

At this point, rainfall totals could be piling up to near 2-5″ in some spots.

It doesn’t stop there either: the next wave of widespread rain moves in Monday, especially in the north, leaving scattered showers and lighter rain chances into Tuesday.
