| Episode Narrative | Strong low pressure emerged from the Lower Mississippi Valley and rode up the Ohio Valley on April 14th. Destablization was able to occur as a dry slot formed behind morning rain, with CAPE building up to around 1500 J/kg. Also, 70-80 knots of effective bulk shear was able to organize convective updrafts and allow for some storm rotation. Convection quickly organized into a linear structure ahead of a cold front as it crossed southeast Ohio during the late afternoon, reaching the PA/OH border around 7:00 PM and reaching the Laurel Highlands by 10:00 PM. For this event, the tornado risk was perceived to be relatively high, with the Storm Prediction Center forecasting numeric probabilities in the vicinity of the Ohio River that were of an unusually high level. One brief touchdown of and EF0 tornado was recorded in Tuscarawas County. Otherwise, straight-line wind damage was the primary impact, with a few reports of large hail as well. |
| Event Narrative | A storm survey confirmed a EF0 tornado in the 1400 block off of Gasser Road near Dover, Ohio. The tornado blew apart a 100 year old barn and displaced several items that were in it. Several large branches from adjacent hardwood trees fell down as well. The tornado lifted up just after it crossed Gasser Road NW. The estimated maximum wind speed was 85 MPH. |
