A cold front passed through Wisconsin as low pressure over the northern part of the state strengthened and moved toward southern Ontario.  Strong west winds developed as the low intensified.  Gusts of 45 mph or higher were reported at several locations.  The strongest gusts were 56 mph at Appleton (Outagamie co.), 50 mph at Rhinelander (Oneida co.), 48 mph at Wausau (Marathon co.), 47 mph at Antigo (Langlade co.), 46 mph at Green Bay (Brown co.) and 45 mph at Eagle River (Vilas co.).  The strong winds downed trees that blocked roads and knocked down utility lines.  The winds also knocked down a post that supports a street light in Antigo, breaking it off at the base.
