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 southeast Montgomery County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 100 mph. The tornado touched down near Highway 94. It tracked east were several trees were uprooted along Highway 231. Numerous trees were snapped in the front yard of a home on Old Highway 231 where the greatest degree of tree damage was found, but this home was not able to be accessed due to the amount of trees covering the driveway. Other nearby homes only received minor roof or siding damage. The tornado crossed into Pike County just north of Jackson Creek.
