2 SW Emerald Mountain A small, rotating shower produced a brief tornado in far southern Elmore County. This activity developed well ahead of the historical outbreak from the Mississippi Valley to the Ohio Valley. The outbreak occurred later in the evening with several long-tracked supercell and strong tornadoes. This was the only tornado in Central Alabama as conditions were not as favorable as farther north and northwest. Start: 32.4364/-86.1324 End: 32.4378/-86.1297

NWS EF Scale: F0

National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Elmore County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 70 mph. A brief tornado occurred on the northern side of Albritton Lane just northeast of Montgomery and southeast of Wetumpka. One home had a section of roofing and soffit blown off, and another home had numerous shingles removed. Two separate sections of fencing were knocked over as well. Another home had some roofing blown off a back porch.

A warm front lift northward across central Alabama and produced just enough instability and shear for the development of a weak tornado in Elmore County.
