Episode Narrative Scattered thunderstorms occurred immediately ahead of a weak shortwave trough over northeast Arkansas and eastern Missouri. The storms were fed by a moist southwest wind flow ahead of a weak cold front over western Missouri. An isolated short-lived tornado occurred with one of these storms. Flash flooding occurred in the city of Paducah.
Event Narrative This EF-1 tornado contained peak winds estimated near 90 mph. A pole barn sustained substantial roof damage, including some structural damage to the rafters. Debris was blown more than one-half mile away. One home sustained loss of a large section of shingles and the roof vent. Dozens of trees and tree limbs were also blown down. The damage began just southeast of the corner of U.S. Highways 62 and 68 and continued south-southeast to Highway 68 along the McCracken/Marshall County line.
