| Episode Narrative | A very dynamic upper level short wave trough moved through the Lower Mississippi Valley region and produced widespread severe weather across central Alabama. Two rounds of severe weather impacted the region. Severe thunderstorms developed during the afternoon heating with another round of severe thunderstorms along a slow moving QLCS. |
| Event Narrative | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed the damage in western Marion County and have determined that the damage was the result of an EF-0 tornado. A weak tornado touched down north of Interstate 22/US Highway 78 northeast of the intersection of Taylor Road and County Road 11. Along County Road 11, ten to twenty pine trees were uprooted in a convergent pattern, with damage caused to a church by falling trees. The tornado paralleled County Road 11 briefly, causing mainly sporadic tree damage, and then continued northeast over open fields and forest. As it crossed County Road 157 north of County Road 56, several trees were uprooted and tin was pealed back on a farm building. It continued northeastward with very minor damage, crossing County Road 309 and Reid Road. The last damage along the path occurred on County Road 13 just west of Alabama Highway 19, where several pine trees were uprooted. The tornado dissipated rapidly beyond this point. |
