September 22, 2005: Hail in Walworth County

There were two rounds of severe thunderstorms that produced large hail. The first round developed in north-central Iowa along a southwest to northeast orientated cold front pushed into Sauk and Columbia counties. Only sub-severe hail was reported in Reedsburg. The second round of severe storms developed as the cold front sagged into far southern Wisconsin where temperatures were in the 80s and dew points were in the middle 60s. These storms pushed from Rock county east into Kenosha county. Large hail in excess of 1 inch in diameter was reported along this path with some areas experiencing golf-ball sized hail (1.75") in Kenosha county.
