Several clusters of thunderstorms with heavy rains developed over and moved northeast across southeast Wisconsin out ahead of a cold front on August 13, 2002, resulting in urban and small stream flooding in Waukesha, Milwaukee, and Ozaukee counties.  Rainfall totals were in the 2 to 4 range.  In addition, gust winds of 35 to 43 kts (40 to 50 mph) accompanied the storms, resulting in broken tree branches.  On the south side of the city of Waukesha, 1.5 inches of rain fell in 20 minutes in the afternoon, once again sending small streams out of their banks and allowing water to accumulate in low-lying areas.  The 2-day rain total at this location near the corner of Hwy 164 and CTY I was 8.80 inches!  Also on the 13th in the afternoon, 3.4 inches of rain fell at the home of an Amateur Radio operator in the southeast part of the city of Milwaukee.  Urban flooding resulted.  Some closed roads in both Waukesha and Milwaukee Counties had 3 feet of water on them.  Urban flooding affected the Port Washington area (Ozaukee Co.) after about 2 inches of rain fell in about 75 minutes during the afternoon hours.  A couple roads were closed in that city.  Urban flooding was also reported in Ft. Atkinson (Jefferson Co.) after the tornado event.  Heavy rains in this city produced swift currents that knocked a boy down, sending him through a culvert. He was rescued by the Fire Department, and treated for slight injuries.

Property damage: 5K
Reported by: FIRE DEPT/RESCUE SQUAD

A weak tornado spun up 1.8 miles southwest of Ft. Atkinson near the Rock River, and proceeded to move east-southeast across the far southern parts of the city to just north of the intersection of Hwy 89 and M, and then across rural, farm locations to a point just west of N about .5 mile north of Cold Spring.  Maximum wind speeds were estimated to be in the 52 to 61 kts (60 to 70) mph range based on F0 damage left behind.  Some light damage to shingles and siding was noted on several residential homes.  Several large trees were uprooted, and loose lumber and debris was picked up at a lumber yard.  At other locations along the path, lawn furniture and other objects were overturned or displaced.  Eyewitness reports indicated that the condensation funnel was not visible all the way to the ground, but they noted that dirt was ingested into the circulation, thereby making the tornado visible at ground level.  There were no fatalities or injuries.  Meteorologically, the tornado was the result of two  thunderstorm cells, in a line of storms along a cold front, merging just southwest of Ft. Atkinson. No other severe weather was reported.
