What the National Weather Service recorded
Scattered, short lines of thunderstorms produced scattered reports of large hail across south-central and southeast Wisconsin. On the weather map a surface front extended from northern Iowa through central Illinois. Mid-level, warm-air advection above a dry, cool, east to northeast surface flow fueled the thunderstorms.
