First Alert Weather Day: Severe Storms and Flooding Threats in Central Wisconsin The National Weather Service has issued a First Alert Weather Day for central Wisconsin, warning of strong to severe storms expected to impact the region Tuesday evening. The unsettled weather pattern continues through the week, with rounds of rain and thunderstorms alternating with dry stretches and potential sunshine. Temperatures are projected to remain above average through late Tuesday, with highs reaching the low to mid-60s in northern areas and upper-60s further south before storms develop. Flooding remains a significant concern, particularly in Waupaca and Shawano Counties, where heavy rainfall from Monday night has already caused water buildup. Storms are still possible Tuesday afternoon around and south of Highway 10, with a slight to enhanced risk for severe weather in that area. The National Weather Service has confirmed the threat for severe weather is high enough to maintain the First Alert Weather Day designation for communities south of Highway 10. The most intense storms are expected to occur Tuesday evening, with timing similar to Monday’s storms. The primary threat includes large hail, though strong winds and an isolated tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Storms will track eastward into the overnight hours and into Wednesday morning. Highs are anticipated to peak in the low to mid-60s north of Highway 10 and upper-60s further south before the storms form or pass through. A second round of thunderstorms is possible Wednesday afternoon and evening, though these are not expected to reach the same intensity as Tuesday’s storms. Temperatures will remain below 70°, with damaging winds and large hail as the primary threats.#national_weather_service #central_wisconsin #highway_10 #waupaca_county #shawano_county
