| Episode Narrative | The airmass across central Illinois became highly unstable and sheared during the afternoon of March 28th as a warm front lifted toward southern Wisconsin. Due to a strong mid-level cap, thunderstorms failed to initiate until a dryline approached from the west by late afternoon into the evening. The storms formed into a broken line as they pushed through the Illinois River Valley, spawning three tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | A tornado briefly touched down in an open field 1 mile southwest of Oneida at 5:39 PM CDT. No damage was observed before the tornado quickly dissipated one minute later. |
