Sunny skies and lingering low level moisture allowed the atmosphere to destabilize. Weak surface troughs combined with upper support to initiate storms. The storms downed trees and power lines and dropped large hail as they moved through northeast Wisconsin. Two people were injured by quarter size hail at a golf course in Alaska (Kewaunee co.). A tornado briefly touched down northeast of Forestville (Door co.) with one of the storms.
