Taking a look at tornado numbers for 2020 across the state - as of July 24th, Wisconsin has recorded nine tornadoes.
Four of those were rated EF-0, five were rated EF-1. One of those tornadoes happened back in March, three happened in June, and there have been five so far in July. The National Weather Service in the Twin Cities is reviewing information from storms in west-central Wisconsin, which could result in a higher number.
