EF0 tornado in Placer County, California

EF0 tornado began in the field just southwest of Roseville, but did not cause damage until it reached the Pleasant Grove Blvd housing developments in West Roseville. The tornado winds were estimated to be 75-85mph. Several windows were blown out amongst the houses, 25-30 feet of fence was blown down, projectile damage was found to stucco. The tornado lasted approximately 5-10 minutes.

A trough over the eastern Pacific dropped southward over the region bringing a series of shortwaves across interior Northern California. These shortwaves brought enough instability and moisture to produce tornadic supercells to interior NorCal. One tornado was reported on March 25th and five tornadoes were reported on March 26th. The trough also brought heavy snow to the Northern Sierra Nevada and Western Plumas County, mainly Wednesday and Wednesday night (March 26) with snow levels dropping to 4000-5000 ft.
