Strong/Severe Storms Possible This Evening

Poor Air Quality from Wildfire Smoke

12:15PM {7/17/2026} Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected at times especially this evening, mainly north of HWY 29. There is a chance (5-15%) that a few storms could become strong to severe this evening into the overnight hours as a cold front pushes across northern WI. If any strong storms develop damaging winds, hail, and locally heavy rain would be the main hazards.

10:55AM {7/17/2026} Wildfire smoke will gradually diminish from west to east as winds shift southwest this afternoon. These improvements will be brief though as additional rounds of smoke are expected to filter over the region this weekend. The Air Quality Advisory has been extended until 6 PM for eastern WI. Additional Air Quality Advisories may be issued this weekend.
