A tornado recently touched down in North Dakota and some really goofy guys were there to record it.

I don't think sitting in a pickup when a tornado is moving toward you is the smartest thing to do but, hey!  This is North Dakota.  Those guys aren't afraid of anything.

SUPER CELL

Weather can be a very scary thing, at times.  This is one of those times.  It's a time-lapse view of a super cell forming over Newcastle, Wyoming.

KEEPING AN EYE ON THE SKY

The forecast calls for a chance of severe storms after 4, this afternoon, and into the evening hours.  The biggest threat is Large hail, damaging winds and an isolated tornado.

The sirens will sound at 1:45 this afternoon.

This is a MOCK TORNADO WARNING.  It's a drill to make sure we're ready if the real thing comes along.  I think we're safe in saying the snow is done for the season.  Now the tornado months begin.

Mark your calendar for the WISCONSIN READY tornado awareness drill.

The tornado awareness excercise, for both Wisconsin and Minnesota, will begin at 1:00 PM on April 19.  This will be a full scale drill with radio and tv announcements and warning sirens.  CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION.

Hot enough for you?

At 3:00 pm La Crosse had a heat index of 110,  Onalaska 119, Tomah 115 and Viroqua 107.

There's a pretty good chance for thunderstorms tonight.  These could become severe with hail, wind and heavy rain.  There's even a possibility of an isolated tornado.

Tomorrow we're going to do this all over again.  And, the heat goes on!!
