The Milwaukee National Weather Service was out in southern Wisconsin Monday conducting damage surveys from the severe storms that moved through Sunday evening.
They concluded that an EF-0 tornado formed 5 miles northwest of Janesville, WI at 5:00pm, traveling northeast towards Milton, WI before lifting at 5:21pm. It was on the ground for just a little over 12 miles and was 50 yards wide. According to the National Weather Service the tornado went through the High School area in Milton, as well as the north-central part of town. Damage was done mostly to trees, but a bleacher section of a baseball field was lofted over a fence at the high school.
The second tornado, also an EF-0 with peak wind gusts of 80 mph, touched down 4 miles east/northeast of Janesville at 5:15pm and traveled northeast before lifting southeast of Fort Atkinson, WI. This tornado was on the ground for 15 miles and was 50 yards wide. Its path took it through mostly rural locations where it caused tree damage.
