Stay aware of some possible strong storms this evening.

08/28/2026

On this day in 2018 there were 19 confirmed tornadoes from Marquette to Sheboygan County. We only had a small one in our county, but those storms created quite a mess. I started my new job here two days later.

Our area now has a slight risk for severe weather between 3p - 9p.

It's been an active year, to say the least. Tomorrow (Friday) afternoon and evening we do have an opportunity for some severe weather. It'll likely just strong thunderstorms, but you can never know for certain.

Two weeks ago today, our close neighbors experienced a devastating EF-3 tornado that has disrupted many lives. As you can see from the photo taken yesterday, there has been a ton of progess. Unfortunately, this disaster will take much longer to completely heal them.

Great work CERT!

By now, we have all either seen the photos of the devastation or seen it in person. The EF3 tornado that started in Grand Chute and stayed on the ground for over 12 miles has changed the lives of many. So many volunteers, near and far, have come out to help our communities clean up and start the recovery process. We want to highlight our CERT team members for stepping up to the challenge. Not only did they assist in Outagamie County with damage assessments, Emergency Operations Center assistance and working at the Multi-Agency Resource Center, they have been a constant force in Winnebago County helping with the Volunteer Reception Center and multiple rounds of damage assessments. We appreciate your willingness to give back to our communities when it matters the most. 💚

See info below regarding a MARC being activated in Appleton to assist disaster survivors with needed informational resources.

“Unusually active” doesn’t seem descriptive enough.

On average, Wisconsin records about 23 tornados each year. This year has surpassed that, with weeks still remaining in tornado season.
