EF1 tornado in Christian County, Kentucky

This tornado moved east-northeast, roughly paralleling Kentucky Highway 272 on the north side of the highway. The tornado removed half of the roof of a tobacco barn, including some rafters. The only other structure damaged was a volunteer fire station, which had a large portion of its roof blown off. Several large trees were blown down. The damage path was mostly through farm fields. The average path width was 100 yards. Peak winds were estimated near 90 mph.

Numerous thunderstorms preceded a cold front as it moved east across the Mississippi Valley. A 500 mb trough over the southern Plains advanced east-northeast, providing support for thunderstorm development. Isolated to scattered damaging wind gusts accompanied the well-organized line of thunderstorms. A couple of brief tornadoes accompanied the quasi-linear convective system.
