This week is going to be dangerously hot. We will get some relief at nights and maybe a thunderstorm or two can cut the heat but if we don't get those storms, you will need to be prepared. Look at a couple of these slides from the US National Weather Service La Crosse Wisconsin for tips and tricks to stay cool through this heat wave. The heat index for our area is ranging between 95 and 110. DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN OR ANIMALS IN A VEHICLE UNATTENDED! Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

One more round of severe weather returns for Friday afternoon and evening before the pattern turns quiet for the weekend and early next week. Storms develop over southeastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin in the afternoon on Friday and move east into the evening. There is an increasing signal (20-40% chance) that storms could be more isolated earlier in the afternoon before evolving into a line later in the evening. If this scenario occurs, the threat for large hail (2-3” diameter) and multiple tornadoes (EF1-EF3) increases quickly. Stay weather aware tomorrow!
