EF1 tornado in Graves County, Kentucky

The tornado crossed from Hickman County into Graves County south of Water Valley. Two houses sustained minor to moderate roof damage. The roof of a pole barn was blown off. A camper was blown over. A small metal shed was destroyed. Kentucky 1219 was closed south of Water Valley near the Hickman County line due to downed trees and power lines. Near Water Valley, trees were down and building debris was on Route 94. The tornado tracked east-northeast to just south of Feliciana, then paralleled Highway 94 before dissipating. Peak winds were estimated near 95 mph.

A powerful mid-level shortwave trough ejected east-northeast across the southern Plains, reaching the lower and mid Mississippi Valley during the night. In the lower levels, a low intensified as it tracked from Oklahoma into southern Missouri during the day, then across the Lower Ohio Valley in the evening. To the east of the low, a warm front advanced northward to the Lower Ohio Valley. Storms moving east-northeast evolved into an extensive QLCS (quasi-linear convective system) that produced scattered wind damage and a few tornadoes. Preceding the QLCS, widespread heavy rain accompanied the warm front.
