| Episode Narrative | A quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) developed across West Tennessee and moved east into Middle Tennessee during the evening hours on July 5. The QLCS produced one EF0 tornado and one report of wind damage in Humphreys County. |
| Event Narrative | A weak EF0 tornado touched down in far northern Humphreys County 4.6 miles northwest of McEwen, then curved northeast and east-northeast before lifting just south of the Houston County line. Damage began on Dry Hollow Road near Mt Zion Road where a shed was overturned and several trees were snapped and uprooted in a convergent pattern, with a few trees falling onto a home. Numerous trees were blown down along Deer Creek Road and Highway 231 eastward past Peach Creek Road. A home lost several shingles, the door was blown off an outbuilding, and more trees were snapped on Tom Brown Road before the tornado lifted east of Smith Branch Road. The end point and path length of this tornado were adjusted slightly in May 2019 based on new satellite imagery available in Google Earth. This is the first tornado on record in Humphreys County in the month of July since official NWS records began in 1950. |
