Severe Storms Possible Today

Heavy Rain Possible Today

Severe Weather Planning Timeline

Severe storms will be possible today, mainly across Northeast Iowa and Southwest Wisconsin. An area of showers and storms is expected to move into the region this morning with some damaging wind threat but the main threat for severe weather looks to come this afternoon, though this morning's activity might have some influence on where and how intense this afternoon's activity ultimately will be. The main hazards expected are damaging winds and a few tornadoes.

With another round of rain and storms on the way we're looking at some increased flooding concerns. Much of the area has seen a couple inches of rainfall over the past few days with areas across West Central and North Central Wisconsin seeing 2-4 inches in just the last 24 hours. Additional heavy rainfall today will lead to some urban flooding concerns as well as some river flooding concerns.

With the risk for another severe weather event looming for this afternoon, now is the time to dust off your severe weather preparedness plan. Double check your that your safe places are accessible, make sure your phone can receive weather alerts, and be prepared to adjust any of your plans.
