NOAA recorded where this tornado touched down but not where it lifted, so it appears as a point. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

A video was shared of a landspout just west of Holbrook.

The wider storm

Hot weather continued over northern Arizona as high pressure was just east of Arizona and low pressure was to the southwest of the state. This pattern allowed for moisture to make it into the region. The moisture flow originated from Mexico and off towards the Gulf of Mexico. With the influx of moisture, cumulus cloud development was seen along the higher terrain of northern Arizona.

Began near Holbrook (34.9000, -110.2582).
