| Episode Narrative | Two rounds of severe weather affected south-central and southeast Wisconsin on July 10th. An initial cluster of storms north of the Milwaukee area in Ozaukee County pulsed to severe limits and generated large hail up to 3/4 inch in diameter during the early afternoon hours. A second round of severe weather was associated with several clusters or short bowing segments of lines of storms that moved west to east across southern Wisconsin during the late afternoon and evening hours. Surface temperatures in the 80s and surface dewpoints in the 60s resulted in CAPE values of 1500 to 2000 while a vorticiy maxima at 500 MB moved across Wisconsin. Veering winds allowed for the development of rotating updrafts in a couple cells that generated two weak tornadoes. Otherwise, the severe weather type was powerful downburst winds. |
