Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA broken line of strong to severe thunderstorms formed along and ahead of a cold front...with lift further enhanced by a short wave passing through the region. Southern Wisconsin was in a strongly unstable air mass ahead of the front, with temperatures in the lower 90s and dew points in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees F. Mixed Layer CAPE values reached 3000 to 4000 J/Kg, and when combined with deep layer shear of 30 to 40 knots, set up conditions favorable for organized storm modes, including supercells and bowing segments. The resulting severe thunderstorms produced large hail and damaging wind gusts across portions of Rock County and the southern-most counties of Southeast Wisconsin. Up to 11,600 We Energies customers were without power in Racine and Kenosha Counties alone at the height of the storms.
