Rare Tornadoes in Wisconsin--- Nov 22nd 2010

Wisconsin does not see Tornadoes very often in November but last year this proved to be incorrect.  Four tornadoes struck the southeastern Wisconsin area and caused significant damage in Walworth and Racine counties.  It all developed under extremely unusual circumstances as warm moist air creep-ed up to the north featuring 60s in Wisconsin and even some 70s near the border of Wisconsin and Illinois.  This was all packed with a very strong jet stream aloft, a storm system, and a winter-like cold front.  No fatalities were reported thankfully but there was damage reported in both counties from the EF1 tornadoes. 

Once the storm system moved away temperatures dropped off significantly from 60s and 70s on Monday down to 20s for lows on Tuesday morning.  In Wisconsin ANYTHING can happen!
