What happened
The episode as NWS GRB wrote it up.
The same supercell thunderstorm which earlier produced wind damage in Waupaca county and a waterspout over Lake Winnebago spawned a tornado 1.1 miles south of Jericho. The tornado traveled southeast, damaging a farm, trees and some crops. Calf houses at the farm were thrown 1000 feet. The tornado entered Fond du Lac county 1.6 miles southeast of Jericho (see WFO-MKX Stormdata report), then reentered Calumet county 2.2 miles west-northwest of St. Anna. The storm continued southeast and damaged a barn before lifting 1.8 miles west of St. Anna.
The radar
The Green Bay radar (KGRB), 65 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 00:12 UTC.
