episode_narrativeScattered severe thunderstorms developed and moved southeast across parts of south-central Wisconsin. Large hail, up to golf-ball size, resulted thanks to a cold, northwest flow pattern aloft coupled with moderate to strong low-level warm air advection. The storms occurred along and ahead of a surface trough of low-pressure which preceded a cold front. The thunderstorm updraft towers were fairly strong thanks to maximum temperatures in the mid 80s and CAPES of 2000-2500J/KG, which led to several funnel cloud reports. WSR-88D Doppler radar imagery indicated only weak low to mid level rotation. One storm chaser report from Dodge county indicated that a funnel cloud, persisting for about 8 minutes, developed after the updraft/cloud base had started to decay.
