Overview
Scattered thunderstorms moved into southeastern Wisconsin during the evening of July 6th and lasted into the early morning hours of July 7th. These storms produced large hail and damaging winds across a portion of the area. |
Wind & Hail:
Wind ended up being the primary hazard with these storms in southeastern Wisconsin. The town of McFarland was hit especially hard, with multiple reports of damage to trees and some homes coming in from that area. There was another particularly strong storm that moved through Racine and Kenosha counties which produced quite a bit of damage. Reports of large hail were more sporadic, and we only saw hail up to 1 inch in southeastern Wisconsin, However, a very intense storm near Trempealeau produced 3 inch hail!
