Good day for sky awareness

Thunderstorms ignited overnight in southwest Minnesota and spread east northeast into the southern Twin Cities Metro. This batch of storms is currently losing punch in our area and moving through central Wisconsin.

Another very warm and humid day is on tap. Be sky aware and monitor for possible watches and warnings this afternoon and evening.

The Storm Predicition Center has outlined a rather broad area of the state with potential for damaging winds, exceeding 60 mph in the next 18 hours.

Scan for clues in the sky of darkening and advancing clouds, along with lightning and thunder. Those observations tend to give a headsup that dangerous weather may be in the vicinty.
