An EF-0 tornado with a peak wind of 80 mph, path length of 1.69 miles, and a maximum path width of 50 yards touched down just to the east of Sandlin Street southwest of Tanner Crossroads. This tornado tracked across Steward Road and Rosie Road before lifting near Nuclear Plant Road and US Highway 31. Several small to medium trees were snapped or uprooted. Tree houses, a shed, and a barn sustained minor damage.

A powerful low pressure system tracked from Arkansas into the Ohio Valley, lifting a warm front north during the afternoon, and pushing a cold front during the evening hours. Two quasi-linear convective systems (QLCS) tracked east through the Tennessee Valley, resulting in two waves of severe thunderstorms that produced four tornadoes of EF0 and EF1 intensity, wind damage, and several short duration flash floods, mainly in urban areas of Huntsville and Decatur. Damaging non-thunderstorm winds occurred behind the cold frontal passage, enhanced by a possible gravity wave.
