| Episode Narrative | A strong cold front associated with a deep and sharp upper-level trough swept through the state accompanied by a line of thunderstorms. Despite only marginal instability; ample deep-layer shear and a strong low-level jet resulted in several reports of damaging winds and tornadoes with these thunderstorms. The early morning hours tornado that occurred in Catoosa County was actually associated with a supercell. The other tornadoes were associated with a Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS) during the late morning/afternoon hours of the 30th. |
| Event Narrative | A National Weather Service storm survey team found that an EF0 tornado with maximum winds of 80 MPH moved along a path with a maximum width of 100 yards for 1.86 miles across portions of Forsyth County. The tornado crossed into Forsyth County from Fulton County along McGinnis Ferry Road where several trees were snapped or uprooted and traveled northeast. A traffic light was damaged at the intersection of McFarland Parkway and Currie Drive and more trees were snapped or uprooted along the path before the tornado ended along Ridgefield Drive. [11/30/16: Tornado #5, County #2/2, EF0, Forsyth, 2016:011]. |
