EF0 tornado in Todd County, Kentucky

Many large tree branches were broken. A few trees were snapped. The tornado occurred in rural farm country, and no structures were damaged in the Todd County portion of the path. Peak winds in Todd County were estimated near 75 mph. The tornado exited into Logan County about a mile southeast of Allensville.

A well-defined upper level shortwave trough shifted northeast across Missouri into the Ohio Valley, where it flattened out within a broader, strong southwesterly flow regime. The resultant mid level forcing was not very strong across the warm sector of the surface low. The weak surface low tracked northeast from Arkansas to West Virginia. Thunderstorms formed along the trailing cold front, which crossed parts of western Kentucky during the mid and late morning hours. A couple of embedded supercells formed within a broken band of storms along the front, spawning a couple of brief tornadoes. A period of widespread rain during the late night and early morning hours generated heavy rainfall amounts from 2 to 4 inches.
