The severe weather posed significant risks to residents in southeast Wisconsin, including damaging winds up to 60 mph, quarter-sized hail, and isolated tornadoes. The high heat and humidity created dangerous conditions, with heat index values surpassing 100°F (37.8°C), particularly in western counties. Dense fog earlier in the day reduced visibility, creating hazardous driving conditions. While the severe weather threat diminished by late afternoon, earlier storms caused localized damage and flooding concerns.
