During the late afternoon and early evening hours of Sunday August 8th, severe thunderstorms developed across the northern suburbs of the Twin Cities. Movement of the storms were very slow due to weak low level flow in the first 5000 ft. Most of the thunderstorms were outflow dominate and caused mainly downburst wind damage.
The storms drifted to the southeast into west-central Wisconsin and caused a severe wind gust, along with a funnel cloud report. |
