Storms roll into Wisconsin

Posted at 6:58 PM on August 10, 2010 by Craig Edwards

Visible satellite image showing strongest storms heading into west central Wisconsin about 630pm.

A Tornado Watch continues until 8PM CDT that includes the metro area. Short term computer models are hinting at the potential for more thunderstorm development in central Minnesota this evening. The satellite image also shows the boundary of the thunderstorms near Rochester that have the potential to become severe.

Heavy rain is likely with these storms, along with dime size hail and wind gusts to 50 mph.
