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.

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.

NWS La Crosse graphic: Storm Threat Tonight. Isolated severe storms (large hail, damaging wind) moving SE tonight into Mon. Timing: earliest 9 PM, most likely 2-7 AM. Main risk is north of I-94; lower 10-20% chance south due to a cap. Stay weather aware and ready for indoor shelter.
