episode_narrativeScattered thunderstorms affected the south-central part of Wisconsin during the morning hours. One of them briefly pulsed to severe weather limits, and produced downburst, straight-line winds that toppled large trees near Benton (Lafayette Co.). Wind gusts were estimated to be 56 knots (65 mph). Lightning struck a power transformer on the west side of Beloit, resulting the loss of electricity to dozens of homes and some schools for a few hours. July 8, 2003, was the 5th consecutive day with some kind of severe weather in south-central and/or southeast Wisconsin. Synoptically, a frontal boundary was located from southern Iowa through central Illinois. Warm-air advection and a vorticity lobe triggered the storms.
