| EF0 Weak 65-85 mph |
EF1 Moderate 86-110 mph |
EF2 Significant 111-135 mph |
EF3 Severe 136-165 mph |
EF4 Extreme 166-200 mph |
EF5 Catastrophic 200+ mph |

| KLVX 4 panel imagery at 951 PM EDT of the supercell thunderstorm that produced the Clark County Indiana EF-1 tornado. The upper left image shows a well defined reflectivity hook. The upper right and lower left panels show storm relative velocity, and regular velocity products. The lower right panel shows the correlation coefficient product which can sometimes confirm debris signatures. | KLVX 4 panel imagery at 1245 AM EDT of a supercell thunderstorm that produced the Hancock County Kentucky EF-0 tornado. The upper left panel shows a well defined reflectivity hook. Rotation can be seen on the Storm Relative Velocity, and velocity panels in the upper right and lower left. | KLVX 4 panel imagery at 1209 AM EDT of a supercell thunderstorm that is producing a brief EF-0 tornado near Mystic in Breckinridge county. The upper left panel shows a well-defined reflectivity hook. Meanwhile, a rotational signature shows up in both the storm relative velocity, and regular velocity panels. Sidelobe contamination of the velocity data can also be seen, which can complicate warning decisions at times. | KLVX 4 panel imagery around 1215 AM EDT of a supercell thunderstorm that produced a brief EF-1 tornado with 100 mph winds. The tornado was near Clifton Mills in Breckinridge county. The same features noted on the other radar images can be seen here.
