| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A broken like of thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front headed into western Wisconsin during the late afternoon hours. With a moderately unstable airmass and decent directional shear, some storms took on supercellular characteristics. One such storm produced a tornado in Sauk County, 4.5 miles south-southwest of Devils Lake, just west of STH 12 on the west side of the Badger Army Amo Plant, in the Bluffview area. The tornado was brief and weak. No significant damage was noted. The line progressed east across most of southern Wisconsin during the early evening, producing areas of large hail and damaging straight-line winds which uprooted large trees or broke large tree branches out of trees. In Rock County, scattered large trees were uprooted, which in turn blocked several roads. About a half-dozen homes were lightly damaged due to trees or tree branches crashing down on them. Heavy rainfall in the Madison area led to urban-type flooding. Lightning strikes and/or tree limbs hitting power lines resulted in about 2900 customers losing electrical power, mostly in the Fort Atkinson (Jefferson Co.) and Delafield (Waukesha Co.) areas. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Heavy rains fell in the Madison area during the late afternoon of May 24th as storms rolled through the area. Between 1700CST and 1800CST, 1.31 inches of rain fell at Madison's Traux Field, which contributed to a new daily record of 1.51 inches for the date. Water quickly accumulated in low areas on some Madison roads, and in some cases, the water level reached vehicle floor boards. The deepest water was reported to be 18 inches. The urban flooding started about 1730CST and ended about 1830CST. About 25 vehicles stalled in the deep water. |
