| Episode Narrative | A persistent pattern set up over the Mid Mississippi River Valley during May 21-23. Upper level winds were consistently southwesterly, providing large scale lift and moisture to the area. Converging air along frontal boundaries at the surface provided sufficient low level lift to initial storms each night. During the afternoon of May 22, 2019 specifically, a warm front was moving north into southern Missouri, increasing low level moisture. At the same time a cold front was approaching from the west. Storms developed along the cold front as it pushed southeastward through Missouri. The significant low level wind produced storms favorable for hail and tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado crossed the Missouri River from Cole County into southern Callaway County. The only observed damage was to numerous trees before it lifted and dissipated near the Railwood Golf Club. The tornado was rated EF1 in Callaway County with a path length of 2.62 miles and a max path width of 100 yards. No deaths or injuries occurred in Callaway County. Overall the tornado was rated EF3 with a path length of 32.63 miles and a max path width of 1500 yards. Thirty three people sustained injuries from this tornado. |
