The episode as NWS MKX wrote it up.
Strong, west to northwest winds behind a cold front gusted to 39 to 43 knots (45 to 49 mph) over three counties of southeastern Wisconsin. The maximum measured gust was 43 knots (49 mph) in St. Peter of the Town of Taycheedah, east of Fond du Lac. The media noted some scattered reports of broken tree limbs and power outages. Over the remainder of south-central and southeast Wisconsin maximum wind gusts were in the 30 to 38 knot range (35 to 44 mph). Synoptically, a low pressure moved up the Ohio River Valley, and deepened in the process.
