As the storms which produced wind damage in and west of Monticello merged and became stronger, resulting in several brief tornado touchdowns along US 24 east of Monticello. Spotters and law enforcement officials reported several weak funnels that would touchdown and lift. The first touchdown occurred just east of Monticello around 315 pm EDT with touchdowns at 320 pm EDT in Idaville and the last touchdown in White county occurring around 325 pm EDT in Burnettsville. Damage was confined to trees and tree limbs at the points of touchdown. The circulation proceeded into extreme western Cass county.
Emergency management reported a brief tornado touchdown 5 miles east of Monticello. Several witnesses said the tornado damaged some trees as it was on the ground for a few seconds.
