| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | During the pre-dawn early morning hours of July 20th, a severe squall line pushed into south-central and southeast Wisconsin from southern Minnesota. This squall line produced mainly damaging winds, some reports being "significant" (>65 knots or hurricane-force), and only a couple hail reports. One of the significant reports was at a location 4 miles northeast of Monona at 0140CST where a gust of 71 knots (82 mph) was measured, before the power went out. Hundreds of trees were knocked down in the Madison area, and there were dozens power-line damage reports. Up to 40,000 customers lost electrical power across southern Wisconsin, with 13,000 alone in the Madison area. The squall line weakened as it approached the corner of southeast Wisconsin due to weakening instability, despite still favorable deep layer shear. Toward dawn, more scattered thunderstorms developed across south-central Wisconsin as a northwest to southeast axis of instability redeveloped. A few of these storms pulsed up to produce only marginal severe hail and wind. |
