A temporary break in the precipitation is anticipated for a large portion of the afternoon hours.
Depending on afternoon clearing and subsequent solar heating, a second wave of rain and storms is projected to impact parts of southeast Wisconsin between 6 p.
m. and midnight.
The overall risk for severe weather during the evening wave remains low, classified as a level 1 out of 5 threat.

Weather tracking indicates that a few isolated storm cells could develop, potentially producing strong wind gusts and hail.
Conditions will improve significantly ahead of the weekend, despite a minor chance for an early morning shower on Saturday.
The rest of Saturday will feature quieter and sunnier weather with high temperatures reaching the lower 80s.
By Sunday, the region will experience optimal weather conditions marked by slightly cooler and less humid air.
This shift is driven by a northeasterly wind flow blowing off Lake Michigan.
Humid conditions and much higher heat are scheduled to return to the area early next week.
