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

Received social media video of a distant vortex or landspout tornado. It formed along intersecting outflow boundaries. Inconclusive whether the rotating column extended to the base of the cloud. Exact duration unknown but likely very short lived. Damage unknown but likely none to minimal as it was out in open desert.

The wider storm

Heavy monsoon rain caused flash flooding in Winslow. A brief landspout tornado also formed.

Began near Indian Wells (35.2900, -110.1600).
