What a difference a month makes! ☔️ By this time last month, parts of Wisconsin had already received over 5 inches of rain! For many, the start of May has been bone-dry. #wiwx

☀️ Today in Utqiagvik (the northernmost city in the United States), the sun rose above the horizon at 2:57 AM and won’t set again for 84 straight days or until August 2nd! Here's a look at a timelapse showing the sunset and sunrise this morning. #akwx

Amazing 😍

*sigh* I just want to plant 🌱 Mother Nature, we need to have a talk...

It's #WhereInTheWorld Wednesday! This peninsula in Wisconsin, seen by #NOAA21 on April 22, 2026, separates the southern part of the Green Bay from Lake Michigan. It is named after a treacherous water passage called "Porte Des Morts" that lies off the tip, where currents from the bay and lake converge.

High chance of frost tonight as most of the state will see temperatures fall below 36° with light winds 🌱 The Wisconsin Frost/Freeze Decision Support page is a great way to evaluate local frost & freeze probabilities. weather.gov/mkx/FrostFreez…

Power is finally back!! Yay!!

Power still out at my house. Hoping it’s back on soon. The folks with We Energies have been working hard 🤞🤞

The wind today was no joke. Power has been out at my house since about 1:35pm and is likely to be out until tomorrow morning. At least it’s not raining & the battery backup to my sump pump still has some juice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wind gusted to 77mph at MKE airport just after 1:30pm. Seeing reports of trees down around Milwaukee & South Shore communites like Oak Creek, South Milwaukee, Cudahy, St. Francis, etc. NWS is looking into the possibility of a wet microburst: weather.gov/bmx/outreach_m…

Andddd she's here! The Viking Polaris arrived in the @cityofmilwaukee today, kicking off our record-breaking 2026 cruise season!

Over the course of a week, more tornadoes occurred in Wisconsin than typically do over an entire year. April 2026 is currently tied for the fourth-most tornadoes in a month in Wisconsin. 🌪️ #wiwx

A line of showers & t-storms has developed across SE WI. They should move out quickly with sunshine returning after, but some brief, gusty winds may be possible. #wiwx @SpectrumNews1WI

The NWS will be sending two survey teams to survey damage in west-central WI and southeast MN on Saturday. Results from these surveys will be released when information is earliest available. #wiwx #mnwx
