We finally got some somewhat exciting weather to happen with some really cool lightning and rain. However, the bulk of the system went to the south of us. The conditions were perfect for a storm with hot temperatures and lots of moisture in the air. It was pretty neat to be outside when the storm was passing through with high winds and ominous skies turning into calm conditions and clear skies. Unstable conditions and disturbances in the upper atmosphere can trigger storms out of nowhere in these conditions and could produce severe conditions. Take note of the mid-latitude cyclone hovering above WI which is fueling these storms.
