EF0 tornado in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana

A brief EF-0 tornado with maximum winds of 80 mph touched down on the southeast side of Belle Terre Playground in Marrero, LA and tracked northeast. A shed was flipped near the starting point with no other damage found to the southwest. Another shed with no connection points was rolled on it's side on Adam Drive with minor roof damage noted to the home. A few other houses with minor roof damage were observed along the track to the northeast. On Victorian Drive, a small shed that was tied down with a few straps and posts in concrete was thrown northeast with other debris thrown northwest. Minor roof damage was also noted in this area. No damage was observed in the trees at the end of Marine Street and no damage was found farther to the northeast.

Widespread thunderstorm activity developed ahead of an approaching cold front. A disturbance moving across the western Gulf in the morning enhanced storm intensities which resulted in scattered wind damage reports northwest of Baton Rouge. Then, later in the day, a storm along the actual cold front spun off a weak tornado in the New Orleans area.
