Storm day runs 7 a.m. to 7 a.m. Eastern (12:00–12:00 UTC), the convention the Storm Prediction Center uses. Colored areas are NOAA MRMS radar estimates of the largest hail (MESH) over the day, lower 48 states only; radar overestimates and underestimates size, so read it with the ground reports.

“A landspout tornado flipped a boat and damaged roof panels at a property on Fort Graham Road to the west of Ross, and then traveled (likely non-continuously) into Ross where it damaged the metal roof of a carport at a store in town. Video and picture evidence confirmed this small landspout.”

Survey data are preliminary and can be revised; NOAA's official record is Storm Data (NCEI). Paths are simplified to about 30 m. Times are when the tornado was on the ground, in UTC.
