Rain Showers and Gusty Winds Coming to the Mid-Atlantic; Remaining Unseasonably Warm in the Central U.S.

Low pressure will track slowly northwestward into the Mid-Atlantic region through midweek bringing a risk for excessive rainfall, gusty winds, shallow coastal flooding, rip currents, and large surf. Unseasonably warm to hot temperatures persist in the mid to upper Mississippi Valley and into the Great Lakes and Northeast U.S. through Thursday. Read More >

Overview

Morning showers and storms tracked east, northeast across parts of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa into western Wisconsin on the morning of June 15th. Mostly non-severe at this time, although there were a few that did produce some hail and stronger wind gusts.

By early afternoon, another round of storms fired off over southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa. These storms were slow to strengthen, but as they moved into southwest Wisconsin, they began to increase in strength. What was initially a hail and wind threat turned to tornadoes in west central Wisconsin. In addition, straight-line winds in this same location produced a swath of wind damage. 

Most of the storms exited into eastern and southern Wisconsin after 6 pm where they continued to produce severe weather. (NWS Green Bay) (NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan)
