Severe Weather Summary for August 13, 2010

Radar Imagery Damage Photos Damage Reports Rainfall Totals

Storm Set-up

Two rounds of severe weather struck the region on August 13, 2010: one during the early morning hours and the other in the afternoon and early evening.  Damaging wind gusts and  heavy rain inducing flash flooding were the main severe weather impacts, with a tornado also touching down in southeast Minnesota. There was some hail, but generally small and isolated in nature.

There was ample moist and unstable air for the storms to tap into as a tropical-like airmass had been entrenched across the Upper Mississippi River Valley for about 2 weeks. As a result, any thunderstorm would be capable of producing very heavy rain with hourly rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches. Prior to the severe weather of this day, the high humidity coupled with temperatures in the upper 80s to lower 90s produced dangerous heat. Heat advisories had been in effect for parts of the region for several days leading up to August 13.  

Early morning

Severe thunderstorms were moving across much of Minnesota Thursday evening, the 12th. The storms started to push into southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin during the overnight hours. The storms developed bowing segments, bringing winds in excess of 60 mph. One of these bows traveled east across southeast Minnesota, near Stewartville, but weakened as it reached the Mississippi River. The other bowing segment tracked from Wabasha County into western Wisconsin, moving from near Oak Center, MN to Modena, WI and then east southeast in the vicinity of Interstate 94. 

There were many reports of trees and power lines down due to the strong wind gusts.  

 Afternoon and early evening

The clouds and rain lingered in the late morning, but sunshine to the west destabilized the atmosphere. Again, a very moist air mass helped fuel more thunderstorm development. The main focus for this batch of severe weather was a west to east surface boundary across southeast Minnesota into southern Wisconsin.

 Hayfield, MN Tornado: EF1

A National Weather Service (NWS) survey team confirmed an EF1 Tornado (86 to 110 mph) touched down near Hayfield, MN (Dodge County).  This tornado initially touched town just west Highway 56 and south of Highway 30 which is just west of Hayfield.  This tornado then moved north about 5 miles before dissipating just west of Highway 56 and south of County Road 6.  The maximum width was 140 yards and the maximum estimated wind was 100 mph.

Hayfield Tornado Path

 

Point A: Start of the tornado damage path just south of Highway 30 west of Hayfield.  Some of the damage included small scouring of a soybean field, roofing damage to a metal barn/shed and uprooted softwood trees. Estimated start time of tornado based on radar data and local accounts is 3:22 p.m.

Point B: Corn field damage and softwood trees snapped midway up the tree.  Local residence had some small beams knocked out from underneath a porch on the front of the house.

Point C: Most extensive damage and widest path of the tornado.  An old barn was lifted off its foundation and a complete loss.  Numerous hard wood trees had branches and limbs damaged. 

Point D: 100 yard wide swath of a cornfield leveled to the ground.

End of track:  Just south of County Road 6 at 3:46 p.m.  The path of the tornado is assumed continuous but could not be verified since a good portion of it tracked through corn and soybean fields where survey capability is limited.  Almost all of the damage had indicators with winds between 90 and 100 mph, which verifies an EF1 tornado to this point.

 Rock Dell, MN Tornado: EF0

Another brief tornado touched down in a field according to storm chasers and spotters in the Rock Dell, MN area around 5:40 p.m. CDT. The time is estimated based on radar data and reports but may have even been a few minutes earlier. No damage could be found.
