| Episode Narrative | A powerful mid-level shortwave trough ejected east-northeast across the southern Plains, reaching the lower and mid Mississippi Valley during the night. In the lower levels, a low intensified as it tracked from Oklahoma into southern Missouri during the day, then across the Lower Ohio Valley in the evening. To the east of the low, a warm front advanced northward to the Lower Ohio Valley. Storms moving east-northeast evolved into an extensive QLCS (quasi-linear convective system) that produced scattered wind damage and a few tornadoes. Preceding the QLCS, widespread heavy rain accompanied the warm front. |
| Event Narrative | Concentrated straight-line wind damage occurred along Highway 800. Several trees were uprooted, several houses lost shingles, and a couple of barn roofs were damaged. Several greenhouses sustained roof and structural damage. Peak winds were estimated near 85 mph. The path width was about three-quarters of a mile, and the path length was two miles. |
