NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What F0 means. This tornado was rated on Fujita’s original scale, used until 2007. F0 meant light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken; the scale paired it with winds of 40–72 mph, figures later judged too high, especially toward the top of the scale, and revised downward in the Enhanced Fujita scale. Ratings then, as now, came from the damage.

The wider storm

Thunderstorms developed as a warm front lifted north through Wisconsin and interacted with moist and unstable air. The storms produced a short-lived waterspout, two brief tornado touchdowns and high winds that downed numerous trees and power lines. The waterspout formed on Lake Poygan (Winnebago co.) and the tornadoes touched down 4 miles west of Mosinee (Marathon co.) and 2 miles west of Clintonville (Waupaca co.).High winds downed trees throughout Shawano (Shawano co.), damaged the Post Office in Wittenberg (Shawano co.), overturned a camper at Redgranite (Waushara co.) and knocked a tree onto a house in Pickerel (Langlade co.).

Began near Winneconne (44.1333, -88.7167).
