| Episode Narrative | During the late afternoon and evening of March 6 a line of severe t-storms developed and raced northeast at 50-60 mph. The storms developed within an environment that featured marginal moisture values featuring dewpoints in the lower to middle 50s. As a result, the bases of the storms were a higher than average and until sunset allowed good visibility to observe the numerous weak tornado circulations. Many of the tornadoes did not have any condensation funnels but simply featured a debris swirl at the ground with only a faint attachment to the cloud base. At least 7 tornadoes were documented via radar and observations but only minor damage was reported and there were no serious injuries. |
| Event Narrative | A visual confirmation of a tornado was reported approximately 1 mile west of Paxico slightly north of Interstate 70. This tornado proceeded to remove a barn roof on the northeast side of Paxico. Time estimated based on radar data. |
