On This Date: One Of America's Deadliest Tornadoes Strikes Wisconsin Town Hosting A Circus
One of America's deadliest tornadoes tore through a Wisconsin town hosting a circus more than 125 years ago. Gollmar Brothers Circus was in New Richmond, Wisconsin, on June 12, 1899, bringing a larger number of people to the town than usual. Before hitting New Richmond, three people were killed by the tornado on farms near Burkhardt and Boardman. The twister then carved a path through the middle of New Richmond just after the circus ended, according to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee. About 300 buildings were damaged or destroyed along a path 3,000 feet long and 1,000 feet wide through New Richmond. Incredibly, a 3,000 pound safe was said to have been carried a full block away. A total of 117 lives were lost in the tornado, making it the 9th deadliest on record in the U.S., according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center Flying debris from the tornado killed many of the 117 people, and 26 separate families had multiple deaths. The NWS says the tornado was easy to spot and that this may have kept the death toll from being even higher. Chris Dolce has been a senior digital meteorologist with for 15 years after beginning his career with The Weather Channel in the early 2000s.

CWG Live updates: First 90-degree high of the year today; storm threats this weekend
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Sunshine allows temperatures to rise rapidly through the 70s and 80s this morning. Temperatures peak in the upper 80s and low 90s this afternoon. What's next? Gulf moisture steadily flows into the area Friday into the weekend, bringing daily chances for showers and storms. High temperatures slowly trend downward from near 90 Friday to the upper 70s by Monday. Today's daily digit — 6/10: Breaking into the 90s is not all that welcome, but the limited humidity and a little less smoke haze make it tolerable. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Thursday): The smoky haze should be quite a bit less than Wednesday, while the nearly highest sun angle of the year leads to a fast warmup. The result is the first day of the year above 90 degrees for most. Humidity is moderate (dew points near 60) making the highs in upper 80s to lower 90s a little less painful, but there is hardly a hint of a cooling breeze. Confidence: High Tonight: Evening temperatures only slowly slip through the 80s under mostly clear skies. Humidity builds overnight with lows in the upper 60s and low 70s. Confidence: High Tomorrow (Friday): With the increased humidity (dew points in the mid- to upper 60s), clouds should start to pop up by midday helping to take the edge off the heat. Still, highs should approach 90. While there's little breeze, a few showers or storms should begin to pop up by late in the afternoon offering a chance to cut the heat. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Scattered showers and storms are likely in the evening and probably become more spotty overnight. Some could produce heavy rain. Lows settle in the upper 60s and low 70s. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Saturday could be the most painfully humid day of the next several (with dew points near 70) while highs reach the mid- to upper 80s. Hit-or-miss showers and storms will probably start to fire back up by late afternoon and continue well into the evening. Downpours are again likely to drench some spots but elude others — so typical of summer. Confidence: Medium Sunday starts out at about 70, and it is muggy. Showers and storms are possible any time, but they may be most numerous in the afternoon and evening. Considerable cloud cover probably holds highs in the low to mid-80s, with overnight lows dropping to the mid- to upper 60s. Confidence: Medium The worst of the heat looks likely to retreat a little farther south by Monday, but showers and storms remain possible. Highs may struggle to surpass 80.
