Overview

Two EF-0 tornadoes were confirmed by an NWS storm survey.  Thunderstorms impacted southern Wisconsin on Tuesday June 26th.  A warm front pushed north into the region which helped create rotation with several storms.  The environment was primed for weak, short lived tornadoes.  One EF-0 tornado touched down 4 miles south of Rewey in far northwestern Lafayette County and another EF-0 tornado occurred from 1 mile west to 2 miles northwest of Argyle in far eastern Lafayette County.
