Seriously Severe Weather (may be) Coming
June 6th, 2007 by FuzzIt’s not often that the National Weather Service sends us a bulk e-mail regarding weather, but today we received the following:
Alerts & Announcements
National Weather Service Predicts Severe Storms Approaching StateThe Wisconsin Emergency Management staff and National Weather Service have announced that they are expecting severe weather in the next 48 plus hours.
These storms are expected to impact most of the state. The first wave is predicted to begin late Wednesday night and will continue throughout the night with possible strong winds, golf ball size hail, heavy rain, and isolated tornadoes. This will continue until Thursday morning and then things will calm down for a few hours before a stronger system moves in Thursday afternoon and evening.
The second system of severe weather is predicted to bring hurricane force winds, hail and tornadoes. Early indications from the NWS state that these tornadoes could be very strong (F2-F3 range). These are the predictions and hopefully they won’t be as severe.
Please, please, please take care and be safe.

I happen to be a member of Skywarn (Weather Spotter) and we are on standby tonight for Washington and Ozaukee counties. But I just got this Gem this morning:
… NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan WSR 88D down until noon CDT today…
The NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan WSR 88D will be down for maintenance
until around noon CDT today. The radar will be online in time for
severe weather this afternoon and evening.
Good god I hope so…

Whoa! Sounds like a typical Oklahoma springtime forecast. At least its not to the point of being like a BAD Oklahoma springtime forecast, the kind that makes folks call in to work and head for the Tornado bunker.
