EF0 tornado in Pike County, Illinois

This short lived tornado began 2 miles northwest of Detroit, IL, along 435th street. Damage was primarily confined to trees, but there was a home with roof damage and a large camper was blown on its side. Overall, the tornado was rated EF0 with a path length of 0.11 miles and a max path width of 25 yards. No injuries or deaths were reported with this tornado.

By late morning much of the rain shifted north and east of forecast area allowing partial

clearing to destabilize the atmosphere. Steep lapse rates due to relatively cold mid level temperatures southeast of the upper level low combined with strong low-mid level wind shear due to an 80-kt mid level wind max southeast of the upper level low. This led to the development of isolated low topped supercells along the northward moving warm front and ahead of the eastward moving cold front. Eight tornadoes were surveyed over WFO LSX's forecast area.
