| Episode Narrative | A warm front moving north across South Florida, along with a warm and moist local atmosphere, provided support for the development of thunderstorms. Several outflow boundary collisions from nearby storms helped to produce a short-lived tornado in Palm Beach County. |
| Event Narrative | NWS storm survey team found damage consistent with an EF-0 tornado in the San Castle neighborhood in Palm Beach County. This area is east of I-95 tucked right between the Boynton Beach and Hypoluxo city limits. Track began near Miner Road and Summit Road, and tracked N-NE between Summit and Grove Road, with the heaviest damage along Brown Road. The track then shifted east of Summit Road from Wilkinson Road to Overlook Road where it lifted near Monroe Boulevard. Damage consisted of multiple downed tree limbs and minor damage to home roofs and fences. |
