June 13, 2022 Southern Wisconsin Supercell

Overview

There was a bit of uncertainty Monday morning if we'd get any severe weather that day with the morning rain moving through. Would storms be able to tap into the strong instability and wind shear with a strong inversion in place? Well one lone storm put on a show for southern Wisconsin. The storm initially perked up along the Wisconsin River as it entered southern Sauk County and continued to intensify as it moved east southeast. This storm quickly developed a strong hail core that dropped 1 to 2 inch hail stones over those it its path. Wind became more of a threat as the storm evolved over Dane County. Once this core of winds developed it raced southeast into Jefferson, Waukesha, Milwaukee, and northern Racine Counties until it moved over Lake Michigan.

This storm continued to track southeast and eventually became part of a Derecho that impacted areas in Indiana, Ohio, and states to the southeast.

For more information on Derechos check out SPC Derecho facts.

Wind & Hail:

Initially hail was the primary threat with the supercell as it quickly grew in intensity and height. The top of the storm reached just above 50,000 feet (over 9 miles) over the earth's surface. It developed an impressive hail core aloft which would produce 1 to 2 inch diameter hail from Dane County east into Milwaukee County. As the storm evolved, the cold pool intensified allowing stronger winds to reach the surface with the Madison area receiving the initial burst of winds that then raced eastward. You can see how this changed to storms structure in the radar loop above.
