Narrative:

Taxiing out for departure in mke we were coordinating a rerouting for WX on VHF #2 with clearance delivery and using VHF #1 for ground, tower communication. We were trying to expedite departure for a line of WX approaching from the west. Tower cleared us out of a holding area 'up to hold short of runway 19R.' I heard mentally on to hold runway 19R. My first officer said as we approached the hold short line 'I think they said hold short.' I immediately stopped but felt we might have taxied over the hold short line so we notified tower immediately. I feel working 2 frequencys simultaneously contributed, along with the sense of urgency to depart prior to the arrival of thunderstorm activity.
