| Episode Narrative | As a strong shortwave trough approached central Alabama from the west a low level southerly jet intensified over the area. Cold air advection aloft associated with the short wave produced steep lapse rates favorable for damaging winds and large hail. The low level jet also produced a maximum of storm-relative helicity over east Alabama during the evening hours, and enhanced the threat of tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | NWS meteorologists surveyed damage to the southeast of Montgomery near the Mitchell Community and determined it was the result of a tornado. The tornado touched down near Alabama Highway 110 and tracked eastward for approximately 3 miles before dissipating near County Road 7. Along the path several trees were snapped and uprooted. |
