NOTES:
The Storm Prediction Center says that there is a MODERATE RISK of severe weather today and tonight for central Wisconsin. The moderate risk area is bordered to the north by a line from Rice Lake to Ashland and is bordered to the south by a line from Monroe to Green Bay. The rest of Wisconsin, as well as southeastern Minnesota, all of central and eastern Iowa, and northwestern Illinois are under a SLIGHT RISK for severe thunderstorms.
A cold front will push into Wisconsin this evening. Ahead of the front, the air will be very warm and moderately humid. Thunderstorms should develop along and ahead of the front in the afternoon moving eastward at night. Damaging wind is the main threat, although isolated tornadoes and large hail may be possible, especially over eastern Minnesota and the northwestern half of Wisconsin, where the wind shear will be greater. The threat for severe weather should end with the passage of the cold front later tonight.
