Cold Front Coming At Wrong Time for Severe Weather

A cold front will move through the stateline overnight with showers and perhaps a rumble of thunder. But the severe weather they had north of us into central Wisconsin won't hold-together when the front moves through here. (In fact, the severe weather is already ending as of this writing.) If this cold front were coming through during the peak heating of the afternoon, severe weather would be more of a concern. But since it's coming through overnight when the atmosphere is more stable, we'll probably just see some showers and a few rumbles of thunder. (Also, we don't have a lot of moisture at the surface to fuel severe storms.)

By the way, that severe weather in central Wisconsin really was! A tornado touched down in Winnebago County (which is near Osh Kosh), and there were funnel cloud sightings south and east of Green Bay. And strong winds in Waupaca downed a tree.  --TS
