| Episode Narrative |
A series of thunderstorm cells moved south through southern Wisconsin during the mid-morning hours on July 26th. Some of these cells trained over the same area, resulting in flash flooding. During the afternoon and evening hours, the activity regenerated and shifted east to the lakeshore counties and over Lake Michigan. In one case, a west-east line of storms over Lake Michigan (east of Milwaukee to Kenosha from 1800 to 2000CST) possessed WSR-88D reflectivity values of 65-70 dBZ and hail algorithm values of 2 to 3 inches for possible hail diameter. However, no large hail reports were received from boaters that might have been on Lake Michigan. Additionally, radar showed a low-level velocity couplet on the west end of the line of storms. This velocity couplet suggested that a waterspout may have occurred. However, there were no confirming reports from the Coast Guard. |
| Event Narrative |
Heavy rains, measured at 4.5 to 5.0 inches within a couple hours, resulted in a flash flood in and near the village of Fredonia. Water depths on roads reached 1 to 3 feet. Some residents mentioned that some roads had never flooded until this event. Several gravel driveways were washed out as well as culverts. |
