DESTABILIZED. COUPLE THIS WITH THE APPROACHING MID-LEVEL LOW AND THE
ASSOCIATED SHEAR, A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 10 PM.
THE OTHER ISSUE THIS EVENING IS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. A
HANDFUL OF ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS WERE ISSUED EARLIER TODAY AND
THIS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. PRECIPITABLE WATER IS HIGH,

FORECASTER: HEAVENERThe Dover AFB radar (KDOX), 91 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 20:38 UTC.
1 thunderstorm wind, 1 tornado. Local standard time, as filed.
Preceding the tornado touch down, the same parent thunderstorm knocked down trees and wires in Glasgow.
An EF0 tornado was confirmed near Newark at 447 p.m. EDT. The damage was focused from Ardmore Drive to Argyle Road, south of DE Route 4. Within this area, 10 to 20 homes sustained damage with several homes suffering significant damage due to large trees being blown into them. On Natalie Lane, a very large tree completely fell over and landed onto two homes with a car having significant damage. Other homes suffered siding and shingle damage. One house on Argyle Road had a tree limb through a side wall. On Havertown Road, several trees were uprooted, with some lying west and northwest, which appeared to be the western edge of the circulation. Several residents reported hearing a whooshing sound that lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds, along with some tree debris swirling into the air. Based on damage reports, the tornado briefly lifted with the main touchdown located from Ardmore Drive to Argyle Road.
Additional damage was reported to the south of the tornado path, including siding and tree damage. One she was reportedly blown onto its side along McCormick Boulevard. The overall path length was nearly one mile. The maximum path width was 150 yards and the estimated maximum wind was 80 mph.
