Gusty winds and low relative humidity will contribute to elevated fire weather over a portion of the northern Plains with a secondary threat in the Great Basin. Read More >

Storms with a history of large hail and damaging winds are moving south through central Wisconsin early this evening. If storms maintain their current track & strength, the potential for a few strong to severe storms will increase to the northwest of Madison after 7 PM. Damaging wind gusts & large hail to quarter size are the main hazards. Move indoors if storms approach your area!
There is a High Swim Risk for the Lake MI beaches tonight into early Thursday afternoon due to dangerous currents from persistent northeast winds and high waves. Stay out of the water!
