Severe thunderstorms days for Barron County,WI.
These severe thunderstorms reports are from the following...Myself,and my chase team..As there where days when severe storms hit the County while I was at work...Or I was out of the area storm chasing...
Barron County had 6 severe thunderstorms that were reported..
First one happened on 05/28/08
The Southern parts of Barron County had a HP supercell roll through...This was tornado warned..However I did not see any funnels or tornadoes..This storm did produce straight line wind damage to Prairie Farm and into Dallas and points South of said line....Lots trees were downed along with a barn and a shed....A trailer camper was over turned ..Some houses did have roof damage from trees on top of them...Not only was damaging winds a factor,this storm also produce hail up to the .075 in size,also very heavy rainfall from this cell....
The second severe thunderstorm day came on 06/08/08
First off we need to talk about a wind shift line that caused many reports of funnels clouds in the late afternoon...I was unlucky enough to see one of these funnels...However what I did see was lots of scud clouds being sucked up into the base of these LP storms...So I sure some of this activity was reported as funnel clouds..One spotter was able to get pictures of the funnel,along with other folks..I was able to see some of the pictures and did confirm it was a funnel cloud....Shortly after this wind shift line moved out of Barron County..More storms where forming on the Southwest side of the County, in the early evening hours... These storms raced Northeast to effect a good deal of the area,These storms did produce hail up to the size of .088...
The next round of severe thunderstorms didn't come until 07/19/08
The main areas that were effected was the Southern parts of Barron County....Damaging winds were the main factor with this cell.Winds up to 55 KNTS..Along with some small hail,and heavy rainfall..
Than on 07/28/08. More severe thunderstorm rolled through the County...
These storms were mainly hailers...Producing hail up to .088...
On 08/03/08 one of the worst storms to effect Northern parts of Barron County...
A line of severe thunderstorm smashed into Northern Barron County in the late afternoon...This storm became stronger after it move East of Cumberland about 4 to 5 miles..This storm downed lots of trees and power lines..Most of the damage was along HWY 48 and points to the North....There was some damage South of this line...A few tress downed and one roof on a house destroyed about one mile South of Rice Lake..Some people were trying to tell it was a tornado,however they never saw it...I would not be shocked if there were some gustnadoes here and there...However what I saw all lined up to be straight line winds,along with some down burst winds,that did flatten part of a corn field not to far from my place...
Last but not least, a severe thunderstorm moved through the Northern parts of Barron County on 09/26/08.
This storm moved through around 10 pm or so..The main factor with this storm was damaging winds,that did down a few trees.
