Event narrative

A short-lived tornado from a thunderstorm touched down and caused damage to two structures. It also uprooted and snapped numerous coniferous trees, many with trunk diameters greater than 15 inches.

Wider weather episode

A strong thunderstorm with rotation first spawned a funnel cloud and then a tornado, which briefly touched down just northeast of Davenport. The funnel cloud was spotted 16 miles northwest of Odessa, followed by a weak tornado eight miles north-northeast of Davenport. The EF1 tornado damaged two structures. By the time the storm reached north Spokane County, the rotation had weakened and was not as evident. However, a localized area of strong downburst winds impacted an area located five miles west of Chattaroy where a portion of a metal roof was blown off an out-building near the intersection of Monroe and Crosscut roads.
