Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThree rounds of thunderstorms produced wind damage and flash flooding during the afternoon, evening, and overnight hours of August 9th. The thunderstorms developed as a cold front trailing from low pressure over northeast Wisconsin moved into a hot, humid and unstable air mass in place over southern Wisconsin. Temperatures warmed to 85 and 90 degrees, with dew-points in the 70s. Strong unidirectional vertical wind shear produced bowing line segments that caused damaging wind gusts. The thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall as precipitable water values reached 1.8 to 2 inches. All together, in just southeast Wisconsin, at least 28,000 customers lost electrical power. It was reported that 140 power-lines came down due to tree debris, and at least a dozen or two utility poles snapped.
