A cluster of severe thunderstorms produced three tornados over north-central Wisconsin. In Price county one tornado damaged some trees 6 miles southeast of Fifield. A second Price County tornado ripped a roof off a barn and leveled some trees 9 miles east of Phillips. A small tornado briefly set down 1 mile north of Tripoli in Oneida County causing little damage.
