Really though, the best tool we’ve found for lightning trends is looking at the -10C level for 40dBz+

NASA SPoRT lightning stoplight tool is a great page to use to see how long it’s been since the last lightning flash/occurrence.

Think we’re on the same dock.

Not sure but it at least was initializing better than anything else at least for this system.

Yeah, I was working with Walworth Co Sheriff at Alpine that night and had a hard time showing any sort of confidence to what was going to happen. Not great having multiple runs of the HRRR showing dry conditions.

The afternoon runs of this model seemed to handle this past Saturday nights flood in the Milwaukee area the best.

When lines of storms track east through FDL, velocity can look like it’s decreasing but it’s moving at a bad angle compared to our radar.

Total number of Day 3 Moderate Risks in the past 20 years for WI.

Main rain done at the draft. Maybe just some drizzle left. #nfldraft

From looking at things today, a lot of 0-3km shear but drops off above it. More unidirectional shear the further east. Fast moving band of storms in the evening in WI.

Monday is looking like an issue.

Tornado drill day tomorrow in WI. Do your thang.

@nws.noaa.gov MILWAUKEE hosting **Storm Spotter** classes for 2025 starting tonight in Lafayette Co.

Yes sir! Thought I maybe grabbed a picture of one.

Welcome to Smarch

I’ve heard that from basically anyone within a county from the lake.

I’ll take that scenario for southern WI

Thanks Lisa! Doesn’t seem as though many local Mets came over here or have been active.

College Gameday ish before the event occurs.

Trying to be more active on here while trying to find contacts from the good ole days of Twitter. Any stater packs for: Milwaukee/Madison/Wisconsin weather folks? Or just cool people to tie in with?

Tailgate on the Fox 6 Weather Deck and stare at Wachs while he does live coverage!

Some timing for our first severe thunderstorm chances of the year. Damaging winds the main concern in SW WI.

Second fire that’s gotten loose in the past couple of weeks in southeast WI. Going to be a busy spring.

Thanks for coming out! Was I correct by saying that that tree was uprooted by a lake?

Busy stretch of weather for us, but that’s how it seems to go. Behind the scenes at the office today as we briefed public safety folks (school districts, highways/DPWs, emergency management, airport ops, police, fire) on the latest for this winter storm.
