Evers, Mason fill potholes in Racine as Evers tours state

RACINE — Gov. Tony Evers and City of Racine Mayor Cory Mason filled potholes in the 1100 block of Grove Avenue on Thursday as part of Evers' fifth annual statewide Pothole Patrol Tour.

Evers and Mason got to work around 10 a.m., joined by Racine Department of Public Works and Wisconsin Department of Transportation staff.

Evers' proposed 2025-27 biennial state budget includes more than $2.6 billion for the state highway rehabilitation program and $100 million for the Local Roads Improvement supplement program, which provides direct support to local road and bridge projects throughout the state, according to a news release.

The state's Joint Finance Committee is currently reviewing and revising the budget proposal, which will then be sent to the Senate and Assembly for approval. Both houses of the Legislature must pass the budget before it can go back to Evers' desk for a final review and signing.

The new budget is expected to take effect July 1.

More than 8,600 miles of roads and 2,000 bridges in Wisconsin have been improved since 2019, according to the governor's office.

Evers' tour also included stops in La Crosse, Wausau and Waukesha.

Waterspouts over Lake Michigan are possible early this week, NWS says

Conditions are ripe for waterspouts over Lake Michigan through Tuesday, the National Weather Service says.

Waterspouts occur frequently between August and November, according to the NWS, and typically pop up during the afternoon and evening hours. They are common when water temperatures are warm, the air is cold and moist, and wind speeds are relatively light.

"It happens several times a year," said NWS meteorologist Mark Gehring. "You'll get these strong low pressure areas coming out of Canada, and they have very cool temperatures aloft, and you have the warm waters of Lake Michigan."

Rain and thunderstorms are expected on Monday and Tuesday in the Milwaukee area, with colder temperatures in the mid-50s.

Waterspouts are often associated with showers and thunderstorms, Gehring said, but they can also happen with cumulus clouds, which have rising air and updrafts.

Gehring said a slow-moving front that moved through Milwaukee on Sunday was stuck off the shore and started producing funnel clouds, and the NWS received reports of waterspouts.

Waterspouts can move onshore, at which point NWS may issue a tornado warning. Gehring, who has worked at the NWS Milwaukee/Sullivan office for 24 years, can't recall a waterspout ever moving onto land near Milwaukee. About 10 or 15 years ago, he remembered people viewing waterspouts that were close to the Hoan Bridge.

"Most likely, it'll dissipate before it comes on land. But that is possible, if you have enough of an easterly wind," he said.

Waterspouts pose a danger to boaters, who should head at a 90-degree angle from the direction the waterspout appears to be moving.

Sometimes waterspouts are visible from the shoreline. If you see a waterspout, the NWS encourages submitting a report online or posting a photo and tagging them on X or Facebook.
