Episode Narrative Parts of southeast Wisconsin lay within the warm sector of a mid-latitude cyclone for much of the day with persistent southerly winds blowing ahead of a cold front draped from western Iowa through the Texas panhandle. As the front pushed across southwest Wisconsin, moderate CAPE and strong shear were present and two lines of thunderstorms developed, with the second of these lines producing three weak tornadoes. One inch diameter hail was also reported in association with the second line of thunderstorms.
Event Narrative This tornado segment in Green Lake County was the 2nd of a 2-segment tornado that stared in Marquette County at 1815 CST. It entered Green Lake County about 6 miles northwest of Dalton at the mid-point of the wide part of the Grand River and continued to move northeast. It crossed Pukaway Lake and came ashore just east of the corner of Marquette County near a boat launch site. A few trees had broken branches or were partially uprooted. The average path width was 35 yards. The EF0 rating was based on DI 27 (TH), and DOD 2, 65-70 mph, after a NWS survey. The responsible thunderstorm was the sourthern of two parallel moving storms with embedded circulations. The northern storm also produced a weak tornado.
