Overview
Portions of central and east-central Wisconsin are under an enhanced (3 out of 5) risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with a slight risk (2 out of 5) of severe storms just to the north. A thunderstorm complex is expected to develop or move across Minnesota, and then move into the area between 4 PM and 8 PM. Damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are all possible with these storms. Torrential rainfall and localized flash flooding will also be possible. Prepare by checking for forecast updates periodically, making sure you have a way to receive warning information, and knowing where your nearest safe place is located. If you are planning outdoor activities, have alternate plans in place, including knowing where the nearest sturdy shelter is, in the event severe weather threatens your area. And remember, when thunder roars, go indoors!
