A weather station on a tower beneath cloudy skies and in front of wind turbines.
We got our 64th weather station installed today!
This is the Darlington station. We were able to reuse a roan tower from a previous weather station.

Map of Wisconsin showing all counties highlighted in gray for an Air Quality Alert due to wildfire smoke on May 30.
There is a level 1/5 risk of severe weather over eastern Wisconsin for small hail and gusty winds on May 30.
Wildfire smoke from Canada is moving south this morning and we’ll soon see it overhead. An Air Quality Alert is in effect for all of Wisconsin today and southeastern Wisconsin tomorrow as a result.
The same system bringing the smoke down could also trigger some storms with hail this afternoon.

Posting a series of videos from a simple backyard trailcam that has captured some surprising visitors the past few months of winter. Location is low density urban just a few miles NE of Madison, WI. #wildlife #trailcam #Wisconsin

Map of southern Wisconsin showing the location of lightning detections this morning. Concentrated along and south of I-94.
Noisy morning today in southern Wisconsin - more than 24,000 lightning detections as thunderstorms moved through the area.
This is about 1% of the annual lightning for Wisconsin.

The NWS has always been a model of how to be a government weather agency. I hate to think what might happen to our capacity to forecast and respond to hazardous weather events this spring and summer.

Wisconet Research Program Manager @coweatherman.bsky.social spoke with NBC News about the impacts of reduced radiosonde launches on weather forecast accuracy.
“Where these balloons are missing…is where…a lot of the storms that will impact the Great Lakes and Eastern United States first develop.”

Up to 1/2" of ice is expected, with tree and powerline damage likely.

Screen capture of Observation Network Manager, showing 54 Wisconet stations connected to the system.
It's a new era at Wisconet!
Our network is now running on a virtual private network and communicating through Vaisala's Observation Network Manager.
You will see a significantly increased data latency (~15 minutes ➡️ ~5 minutes) and availability.
