Today was quite an interesting weather day. Started warming up pretty quickly to 85F at the airport before a line of showers (and storms well to the north came through along with gusts to 35mph. Tropical downpour or two. Then a sunny, largely comfortable afternoon with two separate lake breeze fronts.
I was curious watching convection come into the picture in SW Wisconsin just south of the 94 corridor it appeared. The northern storms went poof so concern for a dry front increased. Out of nowhere around 5pm a big cell unzipped, I believe from the second lake breeze and dumped a half to a full inch in spots in N Milwaukee County. After that it was off to the races with more storms forming behind it pretty consistently along or near the I94 corridor.
Ended up with 1-2” in much of the area. UMB Wx got screwed though, no rain for him (time to get on the drought train, huh)?
