A series of strong to severe storms traversed western into central Wisconsin from the morning hours of October 24th into October 25th, producing heavy rain and mostly small hail. Rainfall amounts ranged from 2 to 4 inches with highest reports of 6.23 inches in Black River Falls (Jackson County), 5.71 inches near Black River Falls (Jackson County), 5.30 inches in Ettrick (Trempealeau County), and 5.20 inches near Centerville (Trempealeau County). The increased rainfall resulted in flooding over roadways in west-central Wisconsin during the early morning hours of October 25th. A rapid response along the Black River resulted in major to moderate flooding from October 25th through the 27th. The Yellow River in Necedah (Juneau County) also flooded from October 28th into October 30th. Besides heavy rainfall, small hail reports frequented the area, with two severe ping pong sized hail reports recorded in the Town of Trempealeau (Trempealeau County) and Neillsville (Clark County).
