The Door County Emergency Management Department wants to ensure you are signed up for alerts from Door County Ready before storms expected to hit the area Thursday afternoon. According to the National Weather Service, Kewaunee County and most of Door County have an enhanced risk for severe weather thanks to one or two broken lines of strong to severe thunderstorms expected to move across the region. The northern tip of Door County and Washington Island are listed in the slight risk category. The greatest risk for severe storms is expected between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Damaging winds, tornadoes, and large hail are all possible as part of the weather system, which is expected to be out of the region by midnight. 

 

After the storms move out of the area, the National Weather Service predicts the wind and warmth will stick around on Friday, with the possibility of scattered storms in the afternoon. You can stay up-to-date with the weather by visiting DoorCountyDailyNews.com and clicking on the weather page.
