Happy Earth Day! Did you know Earth Day started in Wisconsin in 1970 after Senator Gaylord Nelson was fed up with the increasing amount of polluted air and water? It’s up to us to keep our planet healthy and clean for us and generations to come.

It's actually wild. There's literally no mention of why Jackie Robinson is important in the MLB press release. At all. Just that he "played his first Major League game on April 15, 1947."

So to summarize today's news that I've seen: • Catastrophic cuts to NASA • Catastrophic cuts to NOAA • A legal U.S. resident (Khalil), who is not charged with any crimes, is set to be deported over his views • The U.S. dollar is undergoing a process of "rapid de-dollarization"

Today’s a good day to remember that outdoor tornado sirens are NOT meant to be heard indoors. This is why it’s important to have a way to receive alerts on your phone (a weather radio works great too!) FEMA’s app, along with local tv station weather apps, will send you warnings.

STATEWIDE TORNADO DRILL THURSDAY. Don’t be surprised if you hear tornado sirens at 1:45pm and 6:45pm tomorrow! (not all communities will activate the sirens) Use this as an opportunity to go over/practice your tornado and severe weather safety plans with family, friends, and coworkers.

Mother Nature heard us complaining about the snow on Monday and decided to punish us with cold rain AND slushy snow tomorrow afternoon-eve. Some slushy accumulation is possible. PM commute will be gross, but roads should mainly be wet with reduced visibility from time to time.

Ready or not, winter returns to start the work week 😞 Snow showers Monday will leave a coating on the grass. Then wind chills fall into the single digits and teens Tuesday morning. Woot.

Nice storm closing in on the MKE metro! Steady rain & embedded storms continue into early afternoon. After a bit of dry time, we’ll be watching for strong to severe storms between 4-8pm. Any breaks in the clouds will increase the risk for severe storms. More clouds = lower risk.
