Update from the NWS in regards to their updated severe weather outlooks!

04/28/2025

Heads up for TODAY! Please keep an eye to the sky and have a way to receive warnings. There are a lot of unknowns regarding what may happen this afternoon and evening, but if everything comes together, this COULD BE one of the worst severe weather days we’ve seen in years!

Multiple corridors of severe thunderstorms are expected across the Upper Midwest later today into tonight, with a regional severe weather outbreak possible. The most dangerous period is likely during the late afternoon and evening when strong tornado potential should be maximized.

🌨 After highlighting some of our winter weather headlines this morning, we wanted to touch on some of the changes that have been made to cold weather headlines starting this year.
🌬 The cold weather headline changes shown below were made to eliminate the need for a minimum wind speed being met in order to issue a headline. Headline decisions will now be made by assessing the wind chill (which factors in wind) and the actual temperature (without wind), based on whichever is coldest. Also note that different parts of Wisconsin have different thresholds for cold weather headlines (see map).
✅ The science behind wind chill: Our bodies are constantly radiating heat, creating a warm "bubble" around us when winds are calm. When the wind blows, this heat moves away from us, speeding up heat loss.

A few strong to severe showers and thunderstorms may produce damaging winds to 60 mph and small hail this evening. The marginal risk of severe weather has been expanded to include the southern Fox Valley and adjacent Lakeshore. Head indoors if storms approach your area.
