| episode_narrative | Widespread moderate to heavy rains across south-central and southeast Wisconsin during the period of November 1-4, resulted in an improvement to long-term drought conditions. Thunderstorms with locally heavy rain were noted on November 1st, 2nd, and 4th. Training of convective cells occurred on a line from southwestern Iowa County to the Middleton and Madison area in Dane County to the Juneau area in Dodge County. These corridor had rainfall totals of 5 to over 6 inches for the four-day period. Heavy rains during the pre-dawn hours on November 4th combined with leaf-clogged storm sewers to produce minor urban flooding in the cities of Madison, Sheboygan (Sheboygan Co.), and Milwaukee (Milwaukee Co.). These rains were primarily responsible for an improvement of moderate (D1) to severe (D2) drought conditions to abnormally dry (D0) to moderate (D1) conditions by the end of November, 2003. Three consecutive, daily, rainfall records were set at Madison on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, where the 4-day total was 5.09 inches. An unofficial 6.8 inches was measured for Nov 1-4, at a location a couple miles west of Middleton. The monthly rainfall at Madison's Truax Field was 7.49 inches, or 5.18 inches above normal. This was the 2nd wettest November on the books. The south-central counties experienced another round of decent rains on November 23rd, with Madison registering 1.70 inches. A monthly total of 8.11 inches was measured in the village of Mazomanie in northwest Dane County. Other scattered locations in Lafayette, Iowa, Dane, Columbia, and Green Lake Counties also had over 8 inches of precipitation for the month. At Milwaukee's Mitchell Field, 3.94 inches of rain fell during the month, or 1.24 inches above normal. Of this total, 3.59 inches fell during the first four days of the month. In response to the rains on the first four days of the month, water levels in lakes, rivers, and streams rose from 25% to 50% of capacity to 75% to 90% of their bank-full levels by the end of the month. |
