| Episode Narrative | Small, cyclic tornadoes moved through the warm sector of a low pressure system tracking from central IL to Kalamazoo. Widespread stratiform rain in the morning gave way to decreasing clouds which permitted scattered showers to develop. Three tornadoes occurred in Indiana. One tornado occurred in Michigan. |
| Event Narrative | The combination of video relayed by local media and an NWS storm survey concluded that a weak tornado occurred. The tornado began in the vicinity of the east side of the Meier store parking lot. Medium sized tree branches were downed near the beginning of the tornado path. The tornado tracked east and affected the La-Z-Boy Furniture store and the Potbelly restaurant where some large tree branches were downed. The tornado crossed North Main Street with some additional medium sized tree limbs downed near Raising Cane`s restaurant. The tornado then dissipated over an adjacent field to the west of the St. Joseph Health System medical facility. Maximum sustained winds were estimated at around 70 mph. |
