April 30, 2025

The National Weather Service has confirmed that at least four tornadoes touched down in the Eau Claire area as a large storm system swept through the Midwest and much of the country late Monday night and into Tuesday morning. The Weather Service says it is still assessing the extent of the damage but they were able to confirm at least four tornadoes did touch down.

The system that stretched from Southeast South Dakota up through southern Minnesota into west central Wisconsin also produced high winds and large hail up to 2.75″ in diameter.

The confirmed tornadoes included:

An EF-1 tornado touched down northeast of Mondovi in Buffalo County that briefly crossed into Eau Claire county before lifting.

A second EF-1 briefly touched down south of Allen and west of Foster.

A brief EF-0 touched down near Hale Corner.

A final EF-1 crossed US-12 between Augusta and Fairchild before lifting just before the county line with Clark County.
