The National Weather Service increases the Severe Weather Threat for Wednesday for the Lakes Region.

According to the latest prediction released this morning, most of the region is now at a Level 2 or Slight Risk for Severe Storms. A cold front will move through the region Wednesday afternoon and evening bringing the chance for severe thunderstorms with hail and damaging wind the primary threats. Locally heavy rainfall and isolated flooding will also be possible.

There is fog this morning and some isolated showers are possible, but temperatures are expected to surge into the upper 70s this afternoon creating the potential for instability.

More severe weather is possible on Friday with rain in the forecast for the rest of the week.
