| Episode Narrative | A well-organized upper level low moved east from the central Plains into the Mid Missouri Valley during the day. Very strong winds aloft accompanied this system. A streak of very strong mid level winds punched northeast from the Arklatex region into the Lower Ohio Valley during the afternoon. A low level jet from 50 to 60 knots over the Lower Mississippi Valley nosed into the Lower Ohio Valley. At the surface, a low pressure center tracked from north central Arkansas to near St. Louis by late afternoon. Though surface dew points climbed into the lower to mid 60's, extensive cloudcover along and ahead of a warm front limited instability. The instability was generally weak, characterized by cape values below 1000 j/kg. |
| Event Narrative | The microburst damage extended from along the Kentucky/Tennessee border northeastward to the Todd County border. Many dozens of trees were uprooted or broken. A barn was levelled. Several other barns received moderate to major damage. A few homes suffered minor damage, such as partial loss of shingles and porch damage. |
