Scattered storms are moving into southwest WI this afternoon. Heavy downpours & cloud to ground lightning are the main concerns in these storms. While unlikely, an isolated stronger storm with gusty winds or a brief funnel cloud or tornado can't be ruled out. Stay weather aware!

Hauling a trailer this weekend? Make sure its tires, axles, bearings, and lights are all in working order. Doublecheck your chains don’t drag on the ground, as this can cause wildfires. Tie down your load with netting or straps. #SecureYourLoadDay
