TORNADO WARNING FOR EMINENCE, MO! TAKE SHELTER NOW IF YOU ARE IN THIS WARNING!

The SPC (Storm Prediction Center) has now upgraded today's storm prediction to a slight risk over the Upper Midwest. These upgrades have now put a 15% chance of strong damaging winds and a 15% CIG1 (Conditional Intensity Group) chance of large hail. No tornado threat is posted for this area, but I will continue to monitor for that risk can change later in the day.

The National Weather Service has now updated parts of the upper Midwest to an Enhanced Risk. What does this mean? Severe thunderstorms are probable across portions of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes vicinity on Monday. Swaths of damaging winds will be the most likely hazard, with isolated large hail as well. A strong shortwave trough will move southeastward across the northern Plains and upper MS Valley on Monday, with 50-60 kt 500 mb winds across MN/IA/WI enhancing deep-layer shear. Early day storms may occur within the warm advection regime, with at least some threat of severe wind or hail. This activity may weaken during the day and give way to diurnal destabilization, with areas of strong instability developing. Notably, mid to high level winds will be quite strong, with highly elongated hodographs favoring both super-cells and severe bows. Corridors of significant wind will be possible, with some models indicating a bimodal distribution (northern WI, and IA). However, the environment across the entire area ahead of cold front will conditionally support severe storms. Despite some uncertainties, the synoptically evident upper wave and ample instability support an upgrade to Enhanced Risk.

I will be occupied on Monday due to a severe weather alert. According to the National Weather Service, a high potential for severe weather has been issued for South East Minnesota, Eastern Iowa, Upper Peninsula Michigan, West Lower Peninsula Michigan, Northern Illinois, and all of Wisconsin, with a 15% probability of significant impacts. The primary threats are expected to be heavy rain, damaging winds, and large hail. Although there is a possibility of tornadoes, they are likely to be limited to EF-1 severity. I will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.

Tornado Warning just now moving East out of Mora, Minnesota. There is a strong rotating wall cloud with a strong debris signature actively showing on Radar. If you are in this line of storm TAKE SHELTER NOW!

The threat of severe weather has upgraded to a level 2 slight risk for tomorrow July 8th. The National Weather Service is predicting a high wind threat and it can potentially produce a tornado for the Appleton area. Please be alert tomorrow for these storms will ramp up in the early afternoon hours. By around 8 PM there can be some pop up storms for the SE Wisconsin area, so that includes Madison to Milwaukee, nothing is showing too severe for these areas, but it can always change. Feel free to reach out to my business email with any questions or concerns about this forecast @[email protected] And now you can check out my Instagram @santanaowenswx I will soon be recording videos for YouTube to watch live storm coverage, so keep an eye out for that link.

Severe Large Tornado confirmed in Minnesota. IF YOU ARE IN THIS AREA, TAKE SHELTER NOW!!!!

Yes, we know what it looks like. Yes, we can all make jokes, but just because it's a marginal risk, doesn't mean it can't become dangerous. These storms are capable of gathering inflow energy and can produce heavy rain, strong winds, damaging hail, and maybe even a tornado. This is the Storm prediction for Wednesday July 8th. I will be keeping track of the storms as they can become severe. Feel free to reach out to my business email with any questions or concerns about the future forecast @[email protected]

Tornado spotted near the North Side of Watertown, Wisconsin today. Luckily no injuries were reported. More storms are moving into SE Wisconsin and Southern Wisconsin tonight, so be prepared for any severe weather. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERYONE🇺🇸

The main threat of storms is going to be for Southern Wisconsin tomorrow. Rock and Racine County will be in line for potential severe weather and that will be for heavy rain, damaging winds, large hail, and possibly a quick tornado or two. I will be off for the holiday weekend, so I won't be able to track the storms as they move in. Stay Safe Everyone and have a Happy 4th of July!

Central Wisconsin and SE Wisconsin has now been extended to an Enhanced Risk of severe thunderstorms today. So far our only threat is strong straight line winds and heavy rain. These storms will continue into tomorrow as the same areas will be put back down into a Slight Risk.

Active Mesoscale Discussion for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for parts of Wisconsin along with a couple Special Weather Statements that are indicating strong wind gusts capable of moving storms in quickly. Take caution for these parts of Wisconsin are in a Slight Risk

Significant storms moving in from the south west into North Central Wisconsin early morning around 9 AM. If you plan on taking the early commute to work, please take caution as these storms can cause low visibility with heavy rain and will most likely drop quarter size hail.
