| Episode Narrative | An upper-level disturbance moved across the Deep South in the early morning hours of April 5, 2022. This fostered the development of a surface low which moved across Central Mississippi and into North Alabama. Thunderstorms in the morning initially posed a threat of large hail and damaging winds. Later in the morning and into the afternoon, storms became more surface-based and a tornado threat resulted, mainly impacting the southern and southeastern portions of Central Alabama. On April 6th, a strong cold front moved through Alabama, producing another round of severe thunderstorms, but no tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northwest Pike County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 110 mph. The tornado touched down just west of the intersection of County Road 1107 and 1101. The tornado tracked northeast nearly paralleling County Road 1107 where damage consisted of numerous snapped and uprooted trees, some of which fell on and caused significant damage to a residence. The tornado also produced minor roof damage to additional nearby homes and shifted a manufactured home off of its block piers. It crossed into southeast Montgomery County just west of Little Patsaliga Creek. |
