The Latest from Storm Team 5…
While not as intense as Thursday night, it was still an active afternoon and evening in northeast Wisconsin with multiple severe thunderstorm warnings issued for the area.
The severe threat is now over for northeast Wisconsin, but a few rain showers are possible to swing in overnight around the upper level low. Temperatures tonight will fall into the upper 40s and low 50s.
For tomorrow, most will stay cloudy and dry, but an isolated morning shower is possible. Highs in the upper 50s and low 60s. Winds will likely gust to 25-30mph.
Sunday, that NW wind will continue to drag in cooler air, as highs only reach the 50s areawide under mostly cloudy skies.
We stay cool on Monday and Tuesday, but plan on temperatures warming up starting mid week and into Memorial Day weekend. The weather looks quiet, just a few showers south of Oshkosh Tuesday.

Flooding the main threat as showers, isolated storms move across North Texas in coming days

Good Tuesday morning! The First Alert Weather Team has been tracking a complex of storms to the west on Tuesday morning as they move into the area. The northern edge of the complex is breaking up as it heads east into Palo Pinto and Parker counties. Some of this activity may hold together as it nears Tarrant County. The southern edge of the line is more robust and is capable of small hail, gusty winds and heavy rainfall. The highest rain chances today are southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and south of I-20. A few afternoon storms in DFW can't be ruled out as we are on the northern fringe of the activity. Temperatures on Tuesday will be cooler south of I-20 due to the rain and clouds, and warmer along the Red River where it remains drier. First Alert Weather days have been issued for Wednesday and Thursday as waves of heavy rain will move through the area. A slow-moving area of low pressure will track across North Texas tomorrow through Friday. Flooding is the main concern, but an isolated severe storm with hail and damaging winds can't be ruled out. Please remember "Turn Around, Don't Drown." Do not try and drive through water-covered roadways, as it is very hard to estimate how deep the water is, and you could put yourself in a life-threatening situation. The low-pressure system shifts east of the area this weekend, allowing for more sunshine, drier conditions and warmer temperatures.

Northern Lights Alert: Aurora Borealis May Appear In These 8 States Tuesday

A selection of states in the northern U.S. may have an opportunity to view the northern lights Tuesday, as auroral activity is expected to be calmer through the week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Auroral activity will likely be calmer through the week, forecasters said. Auroral activity is forecast with a Kp index of three on a scale of nine for Tuesday night, indicating the northern lights will be visible farther from the poles and could be 'quite pleasing to look at' for anyone in the right areas. No geomagnetic storms or increased solar radiation are expected through Thursday night, NOAA's projections suggest, after earlier coronal mass ejections created 'minor' storms that pulled the northern lights to more states. Tuesday night's forecast is the strongest over the next two days, with a maximum Kp index of two projected for Wednesday and Thursday, according to NOAA's three-day forecast. A view line marking a minimal opportunity of viewing the aurora borealis is forecast just south of the Canadian border, with a lesser chance projected for parts of northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Most of Canada and Alaska have a higher chance. (See map below.) Tuesday's view line. NOAA suggests traveling between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time to an unobstructed, north-facing and high vantage point away from light pollution to see the northern lights. NASA recommends enabling night mode, disabling flash and selecting a slower shutter speed if using a smartphone. With a regular camera, the agency suggests using a tripod to stabilize the image, a wide-angle lens, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the furthest possible setting. More people in the U.S. have had opportunities to see the aurora borealis over the last year, after activity on the sun's surface reached a 'solar maximum.' This peak, which marks an increase in solar events like solar flares and coronal mass ejections, occurs periodically during the sun's 11-year cycle. Electrons from these events are responsible for the northern lights, as they release energy in the form of colorful, swirling lights after colliding with oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere.

'Our disaster management teams are on alert, but we are urging people to cancel their trips if necessary and prioritise their safety,' Williams' spokesperson, Pheello Oliphant, told News24 on Tuesday morning.

'Fortunately, there were no fatalities. Several areas like Skiet and Eugene informal settlements near Butterworth had their homes flooded and had to be evacuated. Schooling has also been affected in some areas of Butterworth because of a lack of access due to floods,' Mpalantshane added. Electricity supply was cut off to about 300 000 customers in Mthatha, Qumbu, Tsolo, Elliotdale, Matatiele, KwaBhaca, Bizana, EmaXesibeni, Elliot, Komani, Dutywa, Butterworth and Cofimvaba.

Luckily, she did not get hurt,' Mzaidume said. In Tyekelebende Village in Dutywa, community leader Zamekile Zodala said: 'We have had a power outage since the early hours of Tuesday. Many residents have made calls to Eskom, but our concern is when are they going to restore the power when several other areas are affected.'
