Tornado in Palm Beach County, Florida

High-resolution satellite imagery showed a tornado damage path through a field near Browns Farm Road southeast of Belle Glade after a severe thunderstorm moved through the area. Time, path width, and path length are estimated based on radar and satellite imagery. Due to an inability to survey the area, maximum wind speeds and EF rating are unknown.

With the influence of a mid-level trough to the north, a surface low pressure system moving across the Southeast U.S. pulled a warm front across South Florida on the morning of January 6th. This brought plenty of warm air and diurnal instability to the area ahead of a cold front, which was the source of lift to spark several showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Some thunderstorms became severe, producing a funnel cloud and two tornadoes.
