Severe Thunderstorm Watch #0301

Locations Affected

  • Far Eastern Iowa
  • Northwest Illinois
  • Extreme Southeast Minnesota
  • Wisconsin
  • Severe Thunderstorm Watch Summary

    Ongoing convective line across far east-central Iowa is forecast to continue northeastward into central/southern Wisconsin, with an attendant threat for damaging gusts. Additional development is anticipated farther north from far southeast Minnesota into northern Wisconsin. Some initially cellular development could produce large hail. Quick transition to a more linear mode is expected here as well, with damaging wind then becoming the primary risk.

    Severe Weather Threats
