Severe Thunderstorms of June 16, 2014 - Platteville Tornadoes

Overview

Severe storms moved through much of the region on the evening of June 16th, 2014, producing torrential rainfall and strong to damaging winds. The line of storms developed in southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa and drove eastward through the evening.

Some hail occurred too, with golf ball size hail reported near Strawberry Point, Iowa.

The hardest hit area was Platteville, WI where 5 injuries occurred, cars were flipped and some buildings destroyed. The storms also produced some flash flooding in portions of southeast Minnesota where 2-4 inches of rain fell in 2 hours or less.

The storms were the result of a strong flow of warm, moist air from the Gulf, a wavering west to east running frontal boundary, and a very unstable atmosphere.

Radar loop from 5:30 to 11:45 p.m.

Radar:

A "bow echo" was traversing across southern Grant county. The strongest winds are taking place at the apex of the bow and where lower values of reflectivity (noted by yellow and green) are coming into the bow. Meanwhile, rotation can be seen on the northern end of the bow echo, which is a typical spot where tornadoes can form. These types of tornadoes are not like more dangerous Supercell tornadoes. They are difficult to see and difficult to warn for. They are also typically more short-lived and last fewer minutes than other tornadoes. In addition, the radar is scanning almost 8000 ft above the ground at Platteville due to the curvature of the Earth. Time of the radar imagery was 10:49 p.m. Monday June 16, 2014.


	Radar at 10:49 p.m. at the time tornadoes were hitting UW-Platteville.	Radar at 11:03 p.m. just after storms moved through Platteville, WI.	Rainfall estimates off radar.
