Severe Thunderstorm Watch

June 27th, 2009 Author: Steven

We are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch in Kenosha County and much of Southern and Central Wisconsin until 10 tonight.

From the National Weather Service:

Severe Thunderstorm Watch 527 is effect until 10 PM this evening south of a line generally from Wisconsin Dells to Port Washington. Look for strong to severe thunderstorms to develop mainly across portions of southwest into south-central Wisconsin late this afternoon. Thunderstorms are expected to be scattered at first…but then transition into a line moving to the east during the early evening. Any severe thunderstorms will be capable of producing damaging straight line winds and large hail.

It’s been a beautiful, sunny day today with temps around 75 here at the house. But now at 3:45pm the clouds have started moving in and it’s totally overcast. The main line of storms is still well to our west near Madison. A secondary line of storms is just moving into Wisconsin from Minnesota. It looks like this second line has stronger storms than the first. Going to get interesting this evening.

I’ll keep ya posted.

    No severe storms for us tonight. Just a nice steady rain for the last hour and half. The severe stuff was all south of us and one good storm to the north.

    Now they’re saying 105. What a relief.
