May 26, 2024: Tornadoes in Jefferson County
What the National Weather Service recorded
On a Memorial Day Weekend-Sunday, a line of storms looped up into southern Wisconsin in the late afternoon/early evening hours and produced 3 long track but weak tornadoes across Rock and Jefferson counties. These tornadoes were well documented via storm chasers and spotters along their lifetime. One of the tornadoes went through the north side of Milton and clipped the northern property of the high school there. Damage was minimal with just some bleachers thrown up into a baseball field.
