| Episode Narrative | A vigorous, cold, upper-level low pressure was over northwest Wisconsin while a short-wave trough rotated around it through southern Wisconsin. Steep lapse rates and moderate instability led to small clusters of storms, some pulsing to severe limits, moved northeast through southern Wisconsin. Most locations experienced thunderstorm wind gusts to 39 to 43 knots (45 to 50 mph), but several experienced wind gusts of 50 knots (58 mph) or higher. |
| Event Narrative | Powerful thunderstorms winds knocked down large trees southwest of Columbus. A school mesonet site (Madison TV-15) 1 mile south-southwest of Columbus had a measured gust of 84.3 mph (73 knots). |
