The wider storm
Sunshine and nice weather changed quickly to scattered storms with hail and wind during the afternoon on June 19th, 2026. Many places in east-central Minnesota and then western Wisconsin saw large amounts of hail fall as the initial storms moved through the area, covering the ground completely at times.
The second round of storms followed about 30 to 60 minutes behind and produced scattered wind damage to trees and a few power lines. The very southern portion of Eau Claire County saw a highly visible funnel cloud near Osseo, which briefly touched down on the west side of town near the Merchants Baseball Field off US Highway 10. This tornado falls within NWS La Crosse's forecast jurisdiction, and more detail on the tornado can be found there.
Began near St Croix Falls (45.4000, -92.6300).
