...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN...

A STRONG FRONT OVER NORTHEAST IOWA AND SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA IS
TRIGGERING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THESE SHOWERS AND
STORMS WERE MOVING EAST AT 40 MPH AND WILL BEGIN TO AFFECT
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN AFTER 630 PM CDT.

THE BASES OF THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN HIGH IN THE
ATMOSPHERE. DRY AIR BELOW THE BASE OF THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IS ALLOWING GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH TO REACH THE
SURFACE. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY
WEAKEN THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING...HOWEVER THEY MAY HOLD TOGETHER
LONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE GUSTY WINDS FROM THE REEDSBURG AREA SOUTH TO
MINERAL POINT AND DARLINGTON BETWEEN 630 PM AND 730 PM CDT.

SMALL HAIL AND OCCASIONAL CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING ARE ALSO
POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. DUE TO THE DRY
ATMOSPHERE...THE STORMS MAY NOT PRODUCE MUCH...IF ANY...RAINFALL.

IF YOU ARE OUTDOORS IN THESE AREAS EARLY THIS EVENING...BE ALERT
FOR THESE APPROACHING SHOWERS AND STORMS AS STRONG GUSTY WINDS MAY
OCCUR.
