Episode Narrative For the 3rd consecutive day, severe weather struck parts of south-central and southeast Wisconsin on June 3rd in the form of an isolated tornado, downburst winds (toppled trees), and a flash flood. On this day, a cut-off low pressure drifted slowly across Wisconsin, after being found back in the Dakotas on June 1st. Spiral bands of convection continued to become enhanced during the daytime heating period.
Event Narrative A weak tornado struck a rural cluster of homes about 2.9 miles north-northeast (82 degrees) of Kuchhayn, or 4.5 miles east of Jackson, or about 0.4 miles southeast (135 degrees) of the intersection of CTH M and Cedar Creek Rd., and then headed north and crossed Cedar Creek Rd. It dissipated just south of Cedar Creek, or about 3.3 north-northeast (72 degrees) of Kirchhayn. Two homes on Highview Dr. sustained slight damage to roof shingles, gutters, and siding. A boat and shed were also damaged. About 30 trees sustained damage, and 6 were uprooted. Average path width was about 25 yards. The specific lat/lon data is: N43.3370 W88.07220 for the start and N43.34350 W88.07290 for the end point. DI #2 (FR12), DOD2. Estimated wind speeds 90 mph.
