🪕🎼 Folks that isn’t a Garth Brooks song you hear outside right now, it’s the real deal! ⚡️ ⛈️ These storms do have some potential with them and we are in a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until this afternoon.

Thunderstorms are expected to progress southeastward from Lake Superior into Upper Michigan this morning. Some storms may produce strong winds, hail, and torrential downpours. Stay weather aware this morning.

This evening’s sever weather potential and the forecasted heat indexes tomorrow are making for some outlooks worth paying attention to!

Thunderstorms forming over MN/NW WI later this afternoon are expected to move towards the southeast and could persist into the overnight hours. The primary hazard is damaging winds (70+ mph gusts), but large hail (2 inches), heavy rain, lightning, and isolated tornadoes are all possible.

Initial thunderstorms are expected to remain as isolated cells, but may congeal into a line of storms during the evening. Be sure to have multiple ways to receive warnings, including ways that will wake you up!

Keep an eye on the skies today. If you see Dorothy and Toto fly past, you may want to take cover!

Heat indexes are forecasted into the mid 90s today and tomorrow. Plan your activities for the coolest parts of the day if possible and pace yourself when working in the hottest parts of the day.

Heat waves have the potential to cover a large area, exposing a high number of people to a hazardous combination of heat and humidity, which can be very taxing on the body. Learn how to stay safe during a heat wave at weather.gov/heat
