| Episode Narrative | A deepening low pressure system moved northeast from Arkansas along a warm front that extended across southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. Surface dew points were in the upper 50's to lower 60's along and southeast of the warm front. A strong upper level trough over the western Plains produced a strong southwest flow of 60 to 80 knots at 500 mb. Winds at 850 mb were south to southwest around 40 knots. |
| Event Narrative | Several dozen homes received minor wind damage, mostly to shingles. Additional damage occurred to fewer than ten homes. Two barns were damaged. A deck was blown off a home near exit 86 on Interstate 24. Dozens of large trees and signs were blown over. The microburst was about 1.5 miles wide. |
