Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA broad upper level trough was situated over the upper Midwest, with accompanying shortwaves moving through the flow. No major/discernible surface system was present, though weak boundaries were in the area. Thermodynamically, around 2000 J/kg of SBCAPE was present along with around 30 kts effective bulk shear, a nose of 800 J/kg downdraft CAPE, and lifted condensation levels around 1000 m or less. Overall, the convective activity was scattered in nature across the state with the lack of a real focusing mechanism, and with predominantly lackluster supporting parameters the majority of storms remained sub-severe. In the end, a lone funnel cloud was reported and with a severe wind gust.
