| Episode Narrative | A deepening surface low over south Mississippi tracked northeast and into west Alabama by the late afternoon hours on April 22nd. The surface low pushed and warm front northward into Central Alabama and caused the low level winds to back, increasing the low level shear and instability. |
| Event Narrative | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in extreme southwest Montgomery County and determined that the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado touched down just east of Philadelphia Church Road, northeast of Lapine and west of Grady. The tornado tracked northeastward and crossed Philadelphia Church Road and Naftel Ramer Road. The tornado lifted just after it crossed Smiley Ferry Road. Several trees were uprooted or snapped along the damage path. The most concentrated area of damage was just as the tornado was lifting near Smiley Ferry Road, but still limited to tree damage. |
