Thunderstorms developed during the afternoon hours ahead of a low pressure system moving through the region. Many of the storms became severe, leading to damaging wind and a few tornadoes.

Initial EF-0 damage began on West Herr Road near North US Highway 68. Several large tree branches measuring between 3-8 inches were snapped. The adjacent home toward the east had four large hardwood trees downed, several of which were snapped at the trunk. Additionally, this home and unattached garage had siding ripped off. Continuing 1.7 miles northeast, the property at the intersection of Kennard-Kingscreek Road and Game Farm Road received EF-0 damage. At this location, numerous hardwood trees were snapped at the trunk, a metal garage door was bent, a barn door track was ripped from the barn, and a shed was rolled onto its side.||The tornado continued eastward and broke additional tree limbs along Kennard-Kingscreek Road. Farther down the road, a barn was completely destroyed with the roof caving in and one of the supporting walls thrown 15 yards to the north. Next door to this location, several large hardwood trees were uprooted. Farther northeast, down Kennard-Kingscreek Road, a front porch was completely separated from the home and had large 20 foot pieces of structure thrown as far as 50 to 70 yards away. The damage path continued past North Ludlow Road, down South Kennard Road, where metal roofing was lifted off of a barn. More damage was found along a tree line off of Dog Leg Road, where numerous tree branches were snapped and trees were uprooted. The last known damage from the tornado occurred along State Route 296, where several trees were downed.

No tornado warning for this county appears in the archive as in force at the moment the tornado touched down. One was issued for the county at another hour that day.

The county was under a tornado watch, issued at 18:31 UTC and running to 02:00 UTC.

Lead time is measured from the issue of the warning in force to the touchdown time in the database, both of which were recorded to the minute by different people.

The Storm Prediction Center had this point in a Slight Risk, with a 0.05 chance of a tornado within 25 miles. The outlook in force was issued at 20:00 UTC.

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. Tornado counts rise through the record as reporting improved, so a year in the 1950s is not comparable with one today except for the strongest tornadoes, which were always noticed.
