Heavy Rain Continues in Florida; Cold Front Brings Thunderstorms and Showers to Central US

Scattered areas of heavy rain continue to produce isolated flash flooding across the Florida peninsula.

With there being a lull in recent severe weather activity, we thought it would be a good time to offer up some refresher training on storm spotting in southern WI and how you can report to the office. We recommend attending an in-person spotter training session to get the full training (typically held in early Spring), but this will provide you with some of the necessary basics to report to the office. Thank you to all of you who have submitted reports to us in the past. We look at every single one that comes in and it helps with our warning process.
