EF0 tornado in Christian County, Kentucky

At least four barns lost portions of their tin roofs and/or walls. Several trees were uprooted or lost limbs. A narrow strip of wheat was blown down. The tornado began on the south side of Hopkinsville and ended several miles southeast of the center of Hopkinsville. Peak winds were estimated near 85 mph.

Clusters of storms, followed by a bowing line of thunderstorms, organized and accelerated east-northeastward during the overnight and wee morning hours. Several tornadoes accompanied mesovortices along the bowing line of storms. In addition, a particularly strong microburst was associated with the line. Finally, the occurrence of multiple thunderstorms resulted in localized flash flooding in the Pennyrile region. A mid-level shortwave trough moved east across the southern Plains. A belt of stronger southwesterly 500 mb winds spread northeast ahead of the trough into southeast Missouri and Arkansas. Instability was sufficient for a round of severe thunderstorms to occur.
