Tornado Threat Looms Over Central Wisconsin
18 Apr
Summary
- Central Wisconsin faces final severe weather round with tornado watch.
- Storms will bring hail, strong winds, heavy rain, and potential tornadoes.
- Weekend temperatures will plummet, with a chance of wintry mix.
Central Wisconsin is currently under a tornado watch as it faces the third and final severe weather event of the week. The storms, predicted for Friday afternoon and evening, carry the risk of hail, damaging wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and isolated tornadoes. This active weather pattern is expected to conclude with the arrival of a cold front.
Following the severe storms, a dramatic temperature drop is forecast for the weekend. Saturday morning temperatures could approach freezing, with daytime highs only reaching the upper 30s and low 40s. A light wintry mix or snow is possible, though accumulation is unlikely due to warm ground temperatures. Winds are also expected to be strong on Saturday.
Sunday will offer a calmer, though still breezy, respite before warmer weather returns next week. Highs are expected to climb back into the upper 60s and low 70s by Tuesday, with predominantly sunny skies anticipated.
