Episode Narrative Strong to severe storms with heavy rainfall developed during the late morning of the 27th in association with an upper low pressure system. Widespread flash flooding and wind damage occurred over the region through the late afternoon. There were two brief tornadoes that developed along the leading edge of a quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) to the southwest and southeast of Bolivar. Numerous reports of heavy rainfall between 1 and 4 inches were received across southwestern Missouri. Rainfall accumulations over 5 inches occurred in Joplin and led to flash flooding in the city. Another round of flash flooding occurred along Kelly Creek in Monett and several roadways were closed.
Event Narrative A National Weather Service survey determined that an EF1 tornado briefly touched down destroying a workshop building and causing significant damage to another. Several trees were uprooted and multiple travel trailers suffered minor damage. The tornado was very short lived but witnessed by multiple people. Maximum wind speeds with the tornado were estimated at 95 mph and a width of 50 yards.
