MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) -April is officially here and unfortunately; it doesn’t bring much change from our active weather pattern. As temperatures warm, this means more storm chances than snow chances in the weeks ahead. A First Alert Day is in place for Tuesday as we brace for another round of strong to severe storms. It’s a time to stay weather aware as all types of severe weather will be on the table. This threat is a bit more conditional than last week, but still remains high for the area. Beyond this, the second half of the week looks very windy as a few shower chances remain.
