18:30Z EF0 KSFX ID Caribou Grace The public submitted several photographs of a tornado touched down north of Grace near US Highway 30. It was a weak tornado and subsequent surveys noted zero damage as the tornado was in an open field.
19:35Z EFU KRIW WY Sweetwater Granger Video from the public showed a narrow rope-shaped tornado northeast of Granger. The tornado touched down over open country, and caused no known damage.
