How Windy Was it Yesterday?
Low pressure intensified over Wisconsin during the day on Wednesday, March 16, 2016. This generated very high westerly winds across southern Wisconsin.
Here is a map showing the strongest observed wind gusts in south central and southeast Wisconsin on Wednesday:
There were numerous reports of damage across southern Wisconsin. A few thousand people lost power. We had one report of a semi blown over on Highway 151 near Dodgeville. Many signs, fences and siding sustained some damage.
Heavy rain impacted portions of south central Wisconsin with slow moving storms. Over two inches of rain fell overnight in northern Columbia County and Marquette and Green Lake Counties. See the graphic below. Several locations in the Wisconsin River Valley are expected to reach flood stage over the next couple of days. Click here for the latest hydrologic information.
