WAUKESHA, Wis (WAUK) – There’s about 2,000 homes and businesses in Waukesha County without power. WE Energies says they are working on getting everything back online. The City of Waukesha and Pewaukee have the most outages at the moment. Another 1,100 are out in Racine County. There are chances of more severe storms through the day today.

In other weather related news, The Racine NOAA Weather Radio is currently experiencing technical difficulties. The National Weather Service says technicians are aware of the issue. As a temporary solution, you can use the alternate radios KEC-60 on 162.4 MHz and WNG-536 on 162.500 MHz. Multiple rounds of storms are expected through Tuesday.
