15:11Z EF0 KMVX MN Otter Tail Erhard Two funnels were observed in the Star Lake area. One produced a brief touchdown but no apparent damage.
23:21Z EF2 KDLH WI Ashland Morse There was significant damage to trees near Dry Lake Road, with evidence suggesting EF2 tornado damage.
00:12Z EF0 KDLH WI Ashland Peeksville Tree damage was evident from Roddis Line Road north of Highway F, evident of EF0 tornado damage.
00:16Z EF0 KMPX WI Polk Balsam Lake A tornado traveled from west to east across the northern edge of the village of Balsam Lake. A small grove of large trees was completely uprooted just north of downtown Balsam Lake. There were 2 garages which has all sides blown in. Other large trees were snapped or uprooted, with a few ending up on houses. A shed was blown over.
00:20Z EF1 KDLH WI Iron Springstead This tornado likely began on the southern tip of Big Island. Aerial photographs taken by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources showed evidence of tornado damage on smaller islands over the western part of the flowage between the Turtle Dam and Springstead Landing. These islands had large sections of trees completely destroyed - either snapped or uprooted, and the aerial photographs revealed trees laying across one another in a cross-hatched pattern, in a few cases at 90 degree incidence angles. ||Substantial tree damage began occurring near Springstead Landing and east into a small neighborhood near the intersection of Flowage Rd. and Franks Ln. A stand of large trees between Flowage Landing Rd. and Simmons Rd. was completely demolished with similar evidence of tornadic winds. All of the trees were snapped or uprooted. ||Impacts to cabins in the area started on the western edge of Simmons Rd. and then continued into the neighborhood near the northern tip of Flowage Rd. Some structures in this area were damaged by falling trees. The tree damage in this neighborhood was still rather significant, with large trees up to 2 feet in diameter uprooted or snapped. The tornado then continued east where uprooted and snapped trees were noted along the edge of the shoreline near campsites D-31, C-2, and D-35 before damage became much more sporadic near the canoe portage. It was at this point where the damage path narrowed and the tornado likely ended. Three campers were injured while camping at remote campsites on the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage.
