Episode Narrative A surface trough extending along the I-74 corridor triggered widely scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon of May 13th. Given enhanced low-level vorticity in the vicinity of the boundary, a couple of the cells produced brief landspout tornadoes as they first developed and before precipitation began to fall. Three tornadoes were reported...including an EF-U near Emden in Logan County, and EF-U just north of Champaign in Champaign County, and an EF-0 that caused minor tree damage southwest of Toulon in Stark County.
Event Narrative A landspout tornado touched down in a field east of Highway 78 and south of 750 North about 2 miles southwest of Toulon at 5:02 PM CDT. The tornado tracked slowly southwestward causing minor tree damage before dissipating just east of Highway 78 and south of 700 North at 5:06 PM CDT.
