| Episode Narrative | A narrow axis of moisture lifted ahead of a front with strong shear, but weak instability. This allowed for isolated thunderstorms to develop. One storm developed a weak circulation that produced 2 brief tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | Video evidence and spotter reports indicate a brief EF-0 tornado occurred. The start of the damage path is associated with a video depicting the tornado at the intersection of Route 23 and the bypass. A second observation of the tornado occurred just to the southwest of the intersection of Calvert Street and Renewable Road where a narrow corridor of corn damage was found near the end of the damage path. Damage along the tornado path was classified as EF-0. This tornado was embedded within a larger area of wind damage associated with a microburst. In addition, some straight line wind damage was observed on West Indiana Avenue. |
