Another round of storms possible this afternoon/evening. Stay weather-aware and avoid flooded areas. ⛈️

Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms is possible this afternoon and evening, but the severe potential will depend on where the front sets up. IF the front stalls more along the WI/IL border with cooler temps and cloudy skies, THEN expected more of a heavy rain risk and a flooding threat with potential for some small hail. IF the front lifts north toward the I-94 bringing more sunshine THEN warmer temps and a moist atmosphere will create an environment capable of producing large hail to an inch or more, localized damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornado or two, in addition to flooding.

April is National Stress Awareness Month

Stress is something we all experience but managing it in healthy ways can make a big difference in our overall well-being.

Take a moment this month to check in with yourself:
Are you getting enough rest?
Taking breaks when you need them?
Reaching out for support?

Even small steps like a short walk, deep breathing, or talking to someone you trust can help reduce stress and improve your day.

Remember: It’s okay to slow down. Your mental health matters.
