Dangerous Day For Wisconsin and Adjacent Areas

This has been updated at 3:15pm.

Please see the posting immediately above. 

This is going to be a dangerous period, especially in the orange and red areas. The dangerous storms will begin after 3pm and continue until 7am in Ohio. The hazards include tornadoes; destructive wind-driven hail, and wind gusts above 80 mph. A derecho -- an extremely destructive type of storm --  is likely to occur. 

• Please make plans to take care of infirm family members now. 
• Fully charge laptops and phones before 3pm. Unplug them before the storms arrive due to the potential for power surge damage during the storms. 
• Fill your car with fuel. Know how to disconnect your garage door opener if you have one.
• Monitor local weather information. 
• Excellent additional advice is here. 

I'll update on this situation this afternoon.
