episode_narrativeFrom low-topped convection, a short duration tornado touched down northwest of Merced California on the 16th and had a discernible damage track of 1.25 miles. The tornado dissipated but the parent cell...after a distance of about 3 miles...generated another weak tornado (with a noticable condensation funnel). This tornado was reported to have traveled about one mile over pasture land before dissipating. At its most intense, this cell spawned F1 Tornado damage for 3/8-mile when it lifted a roof from a house and carport and caused damage to various light structures along its path. There were no injuries or fatalities despite residents at home when the roof lifted from a house along Highway 59 near mid-day. Additionally, locally heavy rain occurred over a 3-day period accumulating a 1.87" precipitation total causing local urban flooding problems due to clogged storm drains in the city of Merced (16th Street west of 'V' and 18th and Canal Streets).
