Walworth County, WI – Residents across Walworth County may hear multiple rounds of storm sirens on Wednesday, November 19, as officials test a newly upgraded warning system.
According to the Walworth County Sheriff’s Office, the county has completed installation of new control systems for its storm sirens. The upgraded system directly connects to National Weather Service warnings, allowing automatic activation and real-time monitoring of siren readiness.
The test will take place at noon, following the county’s regular monthly siren testing schedule — held the third Wednesday of each month, weather permitting. Officials noted that the sirens may sound several times throughout the day as crews perform a full system test to verify proper operation.
Residents are advised not to be alarmed, as the multiple activations are part of standard testing. If weather conditions prevent testing on November 19, the county plans to reschedule for December 17, 2025.
Officials emphasized that these upgrades are designed to ensure faster and more reliable emergency notifications for severe weather events across the county.
