Tips to Stay Safe
A Heat Advisory means dangerous heat conditions are happening now or soon. Take action before, during and after the heat to stay safe.
- Stay in air-conditioned spaces if possible. Find cooling centers or places with AC in your community that you can go to, like libraries or shopping malls.
- Stay hydrated and stock up on clean drinking water to get you through multiple days of heat.
- Reschedule outdoor activities for cooler times of the day, and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
- Cover windows with curtains or shades, or use window reflectors designed to reflect heat back outside.
- Check on friends, family, and neighbors, especially those who do not have air conditioning or spend much of their time alone.
Make sure you know the signs of heat-related illness and how to respond.
Briefing
From the Forecaster
Storm Threat Tonight
Created by the NWS La Crosse WFO
A cap has limited the severe storm chances for most of the area so far this evening and that trend is likely to continue through tonight. Further into Wisconsin, a favorable environment remains for isolated to scattered severe storms this evening but more likely overnight. Additional storms may form south of I-94 on Monday morning, but confidence is not high at this time.
