Areas of Severe Thunderstorms and Heavy Rain Possible through the Weekend

There will be daily chances for scattered thunderstorms across portions of the Central and Eastern U.S. through the weekend, with severe thunderstorms possible in the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. Potential severe storm hazards may include large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. Storms could also produce heavy rain that may lead to isolated instances of flash flooding. Read More >

From the NOAA/NWS Ops Center: "NWS technicians continue to troubleshoot a major degradation of the NOAAPort/SBN through which the majority of NWS data flow. This degradation has been noted since 10:30 a.m. EDT. This outage/degradation has prevented or delayed dissemination of virtually all NWS products. By design, warning products are given the highest priority in the queue, so most warnings products have managed to disseminate albeit with a few minutes of delay. Other NWS products are waiting much longer in the queue to be disseminated. Further details will be forthcoming as information becomes available."

We will keep you up to date on whether the issue is resolved. Should any warnings be issued, they should go out on NOAA Weather Radio and we will post them to our Twitter (@NWSMKX) and Facebook (/NWSMilwaukee) accounts.
