Weather.gov > Huntsville, AL > Isolated Tornado on October 23, 2017

A cold front brought a line of heavy rainfall across the TN Valley during the early morning hours on October 23, 2017. The low level jet intensified as the line of showers moved through the area, producing a high amount of low level wind shear. This caused an isolated tornado to down near the Trinity community in Morgan County, AL around 2:28 am. Interesting to note, there was no lightning observed within the line of showers.
