From a confidential source inside local government:
The National Weather Service today/May 2, 2008, are anticipating that a Severe Thunderstorm Watch and possibly a Tornado Watch will be issued this afternoon.
The storms that they are concerned about will be hitting sometime this afternoon or early evening (5-6 PM for the Kenosha area). These storms will be developing over northern Iowa and are in front of a cold front. The biggest threat will be large hail and down-burst winds. They said there may be an outside chance of an isolated tornado.
Please take the proper precautions and be aware of changing weather conditions. I would also ask that municipalities inform us of any damage reports.
Vigilance is paramount.
