Ongoing Severe Threat

A tornado watch is currently in effect for about another two hours as thunderstorms continue to move out of Iowa and Illinois into Wisconsin. Tornadoes have apparently caused some rather significant damage north of the Quad Cities, and other tornadoes were reported in northwestern Illinois and Lafayette County in Wisconsin. All is quiet right now but another line of storms is rotating to the north and northwest into southwest Wisconsin. There could be a severe weather threat with this line as it moves though but at this time most of the storms are rather weak. This unsettled weather pattern will remain in place through next week, with nearly daily chances for thunderstorms.
