| 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 | Several trees or tree limbs were blown down. Minor damage occurred to a home, consisting mainly of gutter damage. The tornado track was mostly across fields. The tornado was photographed near the initial touchdown and was also observed less than one mile from Pembroke. Peak winds were estimated near 75 mph. |
