Threat of severe weather today.

Image from SPC

The SPC has issued a Slight Risk for Southern Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as Northeast Iowa. This includes most of the local area. To view the SPC Discussion go HERE 

Local Discussion, A warm front that will bring even more heat and humidity into our region will move through the area today. Thunderstorms could develop along the warm front but the question is when will they form and how strong will they become. Some models show the threat of severe weather isolated and quite low today, while others develop a line of storms in Northern Iowa and move them Northeast effecting most of the local area, which has to be considered for possibly happening. If storms develop and the right conditions come together, we can expect the main threats to be high winds, heavy rain, large and at as the storms 1st develop tornados. Residents should keep in mind there is a severe weather risk today! Stay near a weather radio or other outlet at all times!
