The tornado first touched down on Fox Valley Road in the Maylene community, where it tossed trampolines and snapped at few small trees. It then traveled northeast, crossing CR-17 just south of the intersection of 1st Ave W. It then struck Fox Valley Apartments and moved into the Stoney Meadow Subdivision, where several homes received minor to substantial roof damage. The most significant damage occurred on Rock View Trail, where siding was stripped off of one home and another home received significant roof damage and had the garage door blown out. Two mature cedar trees were also snapped at this location. The tornado weakened rapidly and continued to produce minor damage as it crossed through the Navajo Trail Subdivision. The last bits of minor roof and fence damage were in the Greenfield Subdivision off of Industrial Park Drive in Alabaster. In total, at least 20 structures were damaged, and dozens of trees were snapped or uprooted.

A strong storm system and advancing cold front caused showers and thunderstorms to develop across Central Alabama late in the afternoon on the 25th. A couple of these storms became severe, and produced tornadoes.
