Isolated Tornado Northern Cullman County, AL on February 28, 2018

Scattered thunderstorms develop along and near a warm front stalled across North Central Alabama. The wind shear profiles supported rotating, mini supercell thunderstorms, which combined with a sufficient thermodynamic environment and the boundary, produced a brief EF-0 tornado across far northern Cullman County late Wednesday afternoon (February 28, 2018). This tornado tracked for 1.34 miles with maximum winds of up to 75 mph. See the link to the Public Information Statement (PNS) below for more information regarding this tornado.   

   
The track of the tornado was fairly short and brief, with the tornado only lasting a couple minutes. However, some tree damage and minor structural damage occurred across this 1.34 mile stretch of far Northern Cullman County.
