| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A similar scenario to that of July 9, 2006 occurred again on the afternoon of July 27th. Very slow moving scattered thunderstorms developed across portions of south-central and southeast Wisconsin. A lake breeze fired additional storms across Waukesha County. With propagation speeds often less than 15 mph, torrential rains resulted underneath these storms. Nearly stationary storms over the Madison and Waukesha areas produced 4 to 5 inches of rain within about 90 minutes. Flash flooding resulted in these locales with many buildings and vehicles sustaining varying degrees of damage. The UW-Madison campus was especially hit hard. See the specific write-ups as flash flood entries above. Other smaller cities in Dane and Waukesha counties also experienced some minor urban flooding, but these reports did not warrant a separate line-item entry above. Other storms across the area pulsed to severe limits to produce damaging winds to about 61 knots (70 mph) and one funnel cloud report at 1228CST at a location 2 miles northwest of Stoughton (Dane Co.). The major electrical companies estimated that about 10,000 customers were without electrical power at one time or another on July 27th, due to tree debris or lightning striking power-lines. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Heavy rains of 4 to 5 inches fell over the area just southwest and south of Paoli within 90 minutes, based on WSR-88D Doppler radar estimates. There were no reports of flash flooding that would result in property or crop damage. However, some small streams in the area probably flooded for a an hour or so, and then receded. In addition, some low-lying roads probably had some water on them. Refer to the Madison flash flood event write-up to see a rainfall graphic of Dane County for July 27th. |
