Somewhat related note, i will put it in here since i don't want to make a whole thread about this one minor event.

Prior to the Low pressue deepening and moving north into the L.P, the storms that occured yesterday afternoon produce what GRR is calling a F0 tornado near Schoolcraft around 3.40pm. This is based on public reports. I wonder if this really was a tornado or low scud or a rainshaft? Report says it touched down in an open field, so a damage survey would be of little use. Mr. Dale, Did you hear anything about this event?

BTW, winds reached 61knots at Death's door in Wisconsin today before the equipment failed.

We had pulse storms popping up yesterday - this happened near the end of one storm and strengthening of another. No rotation within cloud base, NWS classifies it as a landspout.
