EF1 tornado in Dane County, Wisconsin

Tornado appears to have started west of I-39 along Church Rd where it tracked to the north side before hitting a farmstead along Highway 73. Two metal barn structures were completely destroyed with sheet metal from these buildings found in the trees in the far farm hill to the east. A cement silo was also lifted up and had 3 large chunks of the cap broken off of it. The tornado appears to have gone southeast toward County Road A before ending near Woodside School Rd. Extensive straight line/rear flank downdraft wind damage occurred about a mile or two to the south of the tornado with one farm shed destroyed along Highway 73 south of Thornson Rd. Sheet metal from this building appeared to be tumbled into the nearby field to the east.

A line of strong to severe storms developed over central Wisconsin as warm, moist and unstable air aloft surged into the region. The line of storms then moved southeast across southern Wisconsin. Widespread wind damage occurred across much of south central to southeast Wisconsin, with two tornadoes documented along with the high winds.
