Plenty of sunshine and warmer temperatures will prevail this weekend into early next week. It will be a bit cooler near Lake Michigan each day. Showers and storms are then likely at times Tuesday into Wednesday. #wiwx

It's the last day of Severe Weather Awareness Week in WI and we're talking hail. Chunks of ice that fall from the sky can cause serious damage to people, animals, and property. But what exactly causes hail to form? Watch this video for some hail science! youtu.be/w1g0TToHTIA

Today will be fairly breezy with gusty northwest winds. Temperatures will quickly rise to the 70s into the weekend with a chance for some temps in the 80s on Sunday. Following this beautiful weather we should expect some storm potential with perhaps even some severe risk. #wiwx

Numerous showers and scattered storms are expected this afternoon into the evening over south central WI. Pockets of heavy rain and small hail are expected, but cannot rule out funnel clouds. Less storm and rainfall intensity and coverage over ern WI. #swiwx #wiwx

Out of an abundance of caution, the evening drill has been cancelled. While the threat is not particularly high, we can't rule out some funnel clouds and a brief, weak tornado in southwest to south central Wisconsin.

Note that this evening is still a good time for you to discuss your plans at home with your family about where you'd go if a Tornado Warning were to be issued. #wiwx

URGENT: The evening portion of the Wisconsin Statewide Tornado Drill has been cancelled due to an increasing chance of funnel clouds, heavy rainfall and the potential for a brief, weak tornado. Any alerts you receive through the afternoon and evening are legit in WI. #wiwx

Checking your Twitter/X from work right now??? Tell your boss to talk about where you'd go if a Tornado Warning was issued. Does your workplace have a designated tornado shelter? Does your workforce know what to do when severe weather threatens?

The Wisconsin Statewide Tornado Drill is officially ON for today at 1:45pm and 6:45pm. There will be some dark skies, rain and possibly a few thunderstorms, but we're not expecting any severe level storms. Take some time today to practice your tornado safety plans. #wiwx

Rainfall trending toward lower amounts, although widespread showers and a few thunderstorms are still expected. Rain tapers off tonight, with warming temperatures and dry conditions Friday into Saturday. #swiwx #wiwx

While some sub-severe thunderstorms are possible tomorrow, the statewide tornado drill is planned to go on. It'll be a good chance for you to practice your plans for the days when we do have severe weather in the forecast. Official call will be made tomorrow morning. #wiwx

Clouds will increase tonight ahead of an approaching disturbance. Periods of showers are expected on Thursday, with isolated t-storms possible during the afternoon hours. Temperatures begin to climb as skies clear out later in the week, with cooler conditions near Lake MI #wiwx

During a flood, water levels and the rate at which water is flowing can quickly change. You are safest staying indoors, or seeking higher ground if shelter isn’t available. Never cross flood waters by vehicle or on foot. weather.gov/safety/flood #WeatherReady
