Super Typhoon Bavi to Impact Guam and the Mariana Islands; Excessive Rainfall and Flooding Threat in the Mid-Atlantic

Catastrophic Super Typhoon Bavi's eyewall has reached Rota and is expected to bring dangerous winds, heavy rainfall and storm surge to Guam, Rota, Tinian and Saipan. A Typhoon Warning remains in effect. Heavy to excessive rainfall will continue to bring a flooding threat from coastal Mid-Atlantic to southern New England through Monday. Read More >

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.
