| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | The first widespread severe weather outbreak to affect south-central and southeast Wisconsin occurred on April 25th. It consisted of mostly large hail up to 1.25 inches in diameter, a couple damaging, straight-line wind reports, two tornadoes in Columbia County, and scattered flash flooding due to heavy rains and traning thunderstorm cells. Additionally, lightning struck several buildings and started fires that left damage. Many power outages were reported thanks to tree branches snapping power lines, and up to 11,000 customers in southern Wisconsin lost power for varying time periods. Synoptically, low pressure over southeast Minnesota moved northeast with a trailing cold front. Just ahead of the cold front was found strong warm air advection and moisture advection associated with a low-level jet. Surface dewpoints poked into the mid to upper 60s ahead of the cold front while a favorable jet stream pattern existed aloft. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Lightning struck the steeple of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Portage, resulting in a fire. The event time is estimated, and the actual time could have been up to an hour or two earlier since other storms visited the area prior to 1630 CST. |
