EF1 tornado in Carlisle County, Kentucky

This multi-county tornado first touched down near the intersection of Highways 1820 and 1628 in northeast Carlisle County. Only a very small portion of the track occurred in Carlisle County. The tornado proceeded northeast, passing mostly over undeveloped wetlands along Mayfield Creek. The damage path started with spotty tree damage and minor shingle damage. As the tornado approached the Ballard County line, a wider and more definitive path of snapped and uprooted trees became evident. Peak winds in Carlisle County were estimated near 105 mph as it was entering Ballard County.

A strong low pressure system produced multiple weather hazards. Scattered supercell thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold front on the morning and early afternoon of the 14th, producing isolated wind damage, large hail, and several tornadoes. The supercells were preceded by widespread rain and thunderstorms the previous night, which caused some pockets of flooding in western Kentucky. The low pressure center tracked northeast across the Plains to the Great Lakes region.
