Episode Narrative A severe weather outbreak occurred during the afternoon and early evening hours. An organized line of severe thunderstorms formed over the central Plains states during the night of the 20th. This bowing line of storms progressed southeast across the St. Louis area during the midday hours, then down across the lower Ohio Valley and southeast Missouri during the afternoon. Widespread wind damage was reported in parts of western Kentucky, along with several weak to moderately strong tornadoes. Very large hail was reported in a few locations. The atmosphere ahead of the storms became strongly unstable, with surface-based capes exceeding 4,000. Given the strong buoyancy, wind profiles were sufficiently strong for widespread severe weather. Deep-layer (0-6 km) wind shear values were no higher than about 30 knots, and 0-1 km shear was about 20 knots. Even though the region was under a broad 500 mb ridge, a moderately strong low-level feed of very moist and unstable air fueled the intense storms as they propagated southeastward.
Event Narrative The tornado began east of the Woodlands Trace and Silver Trail Road junction and tracked southeast along Silver Trail Road before crossing into Trigg County. Hundreds of trees, some very large, were snapped or uprooted. The path of this tornado was in densely wooded areas of the Land Between The Lakes National Recreation Area. Peak winds were estimated near 100 mph. Most of the path was in Lyon County, however a popular tourist spot was struck in the Trigg County portion.
