UNDATED (AP) -- It's a weather mix something like what hit the state in early June. Last night's storms included a tornado near Sheboygan, severe winds that knocked down trees and power lines and heavy downpours that raised the threat of flooding.

No injuries were reported, but the National Weather Service says more periods of heavy rain could hit the south central and southeastern regions of the state over the next several days.

Forecasters say the culprit is a warm front that's expected to stall over southern Wisconsin through Sunday, possibly producing heavy rainfall along the front through the weekend.

And this comes after 30 of the state's 72 counties were declared federal disaster areas because of last month's flooding and other weather problems.

Last night's storms included gusts to 60 and 70 miles an hour in some areas.

In Sauk County north of Madison, heavy rain caused flash flooding at Reedsburg, and that triggered a new round of sandbagging.
