NWS storm survey and dual pol radar data indicated a tornado crossed into Spartanburg County from Laurens County, just north of Highway 49. Damaged outbuildings and downed trees and large limbs were observed on Highway 92 and along Watson Rd near Cross Anchor Highway. The most significant damage in Spartanburg County was found in the Glenn Springs community, at the intersection of Highway 215 and Glenn Springs Rd, where an outbuilding was destroyed and others damaged, numerous trees were downed, and homes received minor structural damage.
NWS storm survey found that the path of a weak tornado that began in the Gray Court area of Laurens County crossed the Enoree River into Spartanburg County about 1.5 miles southeast of the Enoree community. Damage was entirely limited to uprooted trees and snapped limbs, with some large uprooted trees observed as the tornado crossed I-26 between mile markers 41 and 42. The path crossed Highway 92 and Cross Anchor Rd before lifting near the intersection of Starnes Rd and Adrienne Rd.
County comms reported a few large tree limbs and power lines blown down in the Enoree area. Law enforcement reported a tree blocking the road on Shaw Rd near Walnut Grove Rd.
