The movement did not take hold as strongly in Wisconsin, and local headquarters in River Falls have closed with staff gone.
The National Weather Service in Minneapolis forecasts a wet period with showers and possible thunderstorms on Thursday and Friday, mainly in the afternoon and evening. By Saturday expect clear to partly cloudy skies. Temperatures rise into the 80s with lows in the low to mid 60s.
