That Level 3 of 5 we've been tracking for Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan is now here for today.
Storms are already going this morning along a stalled boundary, and the muggy air underneath is loaded. The main worry is wind, with a few strong storms merging into clusters that can toss 60 to 75 mph gusts. Big hail is on the table, and a quick tornado or two is possible this afternoon, most likely over Wisconsin. Get the outdoor stuff done early.
I should clarify, I'm talking specifically about severe thunderstorms here.
