As I was digging into the model runs yesterday, that was the first thing that popped out to me.
I’ll also say this: Wisconsin is long overdue for a significant tornado event in general, including a violent tornado. We really haven’t had a discrete supercell significant tornado threat that materialized since April 2011 and the June 2007 event up north that produced a major EF-3 tornado.
Historically, we’ve had at least 1-2 violent tornadoes per decade. We haven’t had one I believe since the Oakfield EF-5 in 1996.
This seems like the kind of set-up that could end both of those streaks.
