EF0 tornado in Greene County, Missouri

A NWS storm survey team determined that an EF-0 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 80 mph touched down in Greene County and continued tracking northeast. The tornado both uprooted trees and downed large limbs out of numerous other trees, and damaged or destroyed several outbuildings along an intermittent path extending from Greene Hills Country Club northwest of Willard across northern Greene County before reaching the Greene/Polk County line. Two homes were damaged by falling trees, with one injury reported in one of these homes. The tornado continued to track into Polk and Dallas counties.

A shortwave trough and an associated cold front pushed through the Missouri Ozarks during the late evening of May 6, 2024 and into the early morning hours of May 7, 2024. Thunderstorms developed along the front west of the Ozarks, quickly growing upscale to a linear storm mode by the time they reached southwest Missouri. This line of thunderstorms pushed through the area, causing widespread wind damage, flash flooding, and several tornadoes.
