Stay tuned for updates! 📺

The National Weather Service has confirmed an EF-2 tornado from last night near Sussex. Not surprised given the damage we saw from the chopper this morning.

Crews are still out looking at other locations and may confirm more tornadoes later in the day.

A quick reminder: *outdoor* sirens are not meant to be heard *inside* your home.
DO NOT rely on them to wake you up at night. Get a weather alert radio.

It's suddenly late spring around the region today!! And along with that...a threat for severe weather in Wisconsin.
Be prepared, watches and warnings may be issued later this evening and into tonight.

For those keeping score at home... Last five times Milwaukee has been in a Blizzard Warning.

From what data I am seeing, the last time Milwaukee county was in a Blizzard Warning was 2011. So.... it's been a while.

While I'm not in the daily weather game these days, I am a bit suspicious of the larger forecast snowfall amounts I'm seeing for SE Wisconsin.
That being said, given the timing and wind speeds, there are still going to be impacts overnight and through Monday.

Brutal wind chill values this morning... So bad, it's maxing out the color bank used on this map. 🥶

We're back in the meat locker! Actually, it may be warmer in the meat locker. The temp in Milwaukee has dropped to -2F and we have a Partly Cloudy sky.

[⚡JD Rudd ☈ @jdrudd]

Given how this winter has gone, let's keep eyes on:
1) Next weekend. We'll likely get a severe shot of cold air.

2) Be ready for something similar before St. Patrick's day. Snow followed by a blast of cold air.

This winter is reminding me of what we saw back in 2019. #wiwx

Oh Pack oh....

We're back in the meat locker! Actually, it may be warmer in the meat locker. The temp in Milwaukee has dropped to -2F and we have a Clear sky.

Fun fact about Coleman: the company got its start in Wichita! I do miss my Wichita days. Maybe I should take a trip back... In a Coleman camper from #CampingWorld. 😁

How are the leaves doing near you? Starting to see things change almost overnight! It's not due to temperatures... it's due to lack of total daylight.

@aaronf_25 @mickshaffer @realfrankboal Me too!! Almost came back three times...
-In 2022 as chief at 41
-In 2023 as chief at 5
-This year as AM met at 5
But in each case, something bizarre & out of my control came up out of the blue and detailed the deal. 🤷‍♂️
