Several thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and evening spawned six tornadoes during the evening hours between 8:30 to 10:30 pm. Peak daytime heating led to a high amount of instability and a nearby warm front aided in storm development and wind shear. Strong storms occurring north of I-94 and along and south of I-69 produced several tornadoes and widespread wind damage. There were several reports of downed or uprooted trees and significant damage to homes and local businesses. The National Weather Service sent 3 Survey Teams out to assess the tornado damage and assign EF Ratings.
