Episode Narrative A warm front lifted north across the local area during the morning hours. This brought in a surge of warm and moist air. At the same time, mid level temperatures were dropping. That combination dramatically increased instability across the region. A line of thunderstorms and discrete cells ahead of the cold front developed and produced a few tornadoes, flash flooding, and damaging wind gusts.
Event Narrative A tornado touched down near the intersection of Billy and 1st streets where it did some minor tree damage. It proceeded northeast where it removed a large section of the roof of a well-built home on Charles Street. It continued northeast where it did some minor roof and tree damage. It crossed Highway 63 near Rock Creek Road where it interacted with a southbound vehicle. The driver loss control of their vehicle and died after being ejected. The tornado continued northeast where it damaged parked vehicles and the roof of homes along Gregory and Edna Streets. The tornado proceeded northeast where it did additional minor roof and tree damage before lifting near Mary Avenue.
