Breaking into truly nice Spring weather can be an exercise in futility next to a Great Lake. But since spring is also severe weather season in Wisconsin, Lake Michigan can also provide some protection from the really not-so-nice breakouts of thunderstorms and their hazards. That’s the case for the early part of this week.
National Weather Service forecasters had a close eye on evolving conditions that could have put us in the target zone of heavy rain and possible damaging winds, but that evolution has gone the other direction instead, with cold air and clouds putting a lid on severe thunderstorm development in Sheboygan County.
Areas not influenced by the lake…mostly west of I-39…do have to be on the lookout, but for now east-central Wisconsin will be “chill”…literally.
