As of this writing, a total of six tornadoes have been confirmed to have occurred during the afternoon of June 6th. All of these tornadoes occurred as mesovortices embedded in a larger squall line. Areas of straight-line wind damage also occurred in other portions of the squall line that were not tornadic. An updated Public Information Statement, including details on the tornadoes near Beallsville and Centerville in Washington County, will be issued on Tuesday, June 9th. .Beallsville Tornado... A brief tornado was confirmed by a storm survey to have occurred near Glendon Lane near Beallsville in Washington County, PA at around 2:38 PM on June 6th. Additional details on this tornado will be provided on Tuesday, June 7th upon further examination of survey findings. .Centerville Tornado... A brief tornado was confirmed by a storm survey to have occurred near the end of Conti Road near Centerville in Washington County, PA at around 2:40 PM on June 6th. Additional details on this tornado will be provided on Tuesday, June 7th upon further examination of survey findings. .Ellsworth Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 7.28 miles Path Width /maximum/: 400 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 02:40 PM EDT Start Location: Cokeburg / Washington County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0971 / -80.0673 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 02:49 PM EDT End Location: 2 SW Twilight / Washington County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0998 / -79.9299 Survey Summary: On the afternoon of June 6, 2026, an EF1 tornado, generated within a squall line, tracked just over 7 miles eastward across Washington County, PA. The tornado first formed near Cokeburg, snapping large pine trees between Route 917 and Washington Street. After a brief lift, it reformed two miles east near Ellsworth, along Beallsville Road and Cherry Street. This segment recorded the highest intensity, with maximum wind gusts of 110 mph. Damage included the snapping of approximately 50 hardwood trees and partial roof damage to one home on Cherry Street from a falling tree. The tornado continued its path, primarily snapping or uprooting hardwood trees as it crossed Deems Park Road, Woodland Road, Locust Road, Scenic Drive, California Drive, and Deer Run Lane, before finally dissipating at Cross Ridge Road. The National Weather Service would like to thank the Washington County Department of Public Safety for their assistance with this survey. .Linn Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.43 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 02:50 PM EDT Start Location: 2 ENE Brownsville / Fayette County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0257 / -79.8613 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 02:51 PM EDT End Location: 2 ENE Brownsville / Fayette County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0258 / -79.8533 Survey Summary: A strong line of storms crossed over the Monongahela River at around 2:49pm on June 6th. An embedded meso-vortex developed in the line with tightening rotation around 2:50pm, when the tornado is estimated to have touched down in Linn near Railroad Avenue. Time was estimated from radar. The strongest winds accelerated on the southern end of the vortex as it moved downhill into Redstone Creek Valley. Winds on the southern end of the vortex and northern end of the rear flank downdraft were the strongest, estimated at 100mph with a large amount of small hardwood trees down. The strongest winds were along Braznell Concrete Road, just northeast of its intersection with Taylor Flats Road. Some shingle damage was noted on a home before it ended. The vortex collapsed, along with a weakening of the rear flank downdraft push around 2:51pm after crossing Braznell Concrete Road one more time.

At the same time, it was evident that an embedded meso-vortex developed based on radar; this rotation extended to the surface resulting in an estimated tornado touchdown near Reservoir Road just east-southeast of Star Junction at 2:57pm. Time was estimated from radar. Damage continued, coincident with the vortex, and just south of the vortex for around 5.1 miles. Damage was sporadic at times, the tornado may have lifted and re-formed multiple times. Most damage was hardwood trees uprooted along Maplewood Road, Virgin Run Road, and Dickerson Run Road. The strongest wind was estimated at 90mph along Maplewood Road, just west of its intersection with Virgin Run Road where multiple hardwood trees were down with shingle damage to a home at around 2:58pm. The tornado continued, crossing the ridgetop just west of Dickerson Run road where drone footage shows a narrow swath of convergent tree damage, before the vortex continued across multiple fields, ending near Cemetery Road just north of Vanderbilt at 3:02pm. The National Weather Service would like to thank Fayette County Emergency Management for their assistance with this survey. .Jacobs Creek Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 107 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.20 miles Path Width /maximum/: 0 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 03:00 PM EDT Start Location: 2 N Perryopolis / Fayette County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.1101 / -79.7424 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 03:05 PM EDT End Location: 3 WNW Scottdale / Westmoreland County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.1232 / -79.6457 Survey Summary: A brief EF1 tornado struck the northern border of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of June 6, 2026, originating within a squall line.

Initial damage, consisting of several large snapped branches and uprooted trees, was observed along Kefover Road. A farm on Glendon Lane became a primary area of focus after a barn was partially destroyed, with debris scattered northeastward across a field and onto a neighboring property; the fact that this debris was lofted to the left of the storm's general path served as an indicator of rotation. This location also saw a line of trees uprooted at a valley base and several pines snapped mid-trunk, though the residence sustained only minor porch damage. As the storm moved eastward up the hillside, it left sporadic tree damage in its wake before causing further concentrated destruction along Martindale Road, where numerous trees were snapped or uprooted at a farm and adjacent site. .Ellsworth Tornado...

As the storm was approaching Centerville, the vortex tightened as noted on radar. This coincides with a swath of damage to trees from just west of Conti Road to Spring Road, with nearly 200 trees down around the National Pike Steam Show property. Trees were both snapped and uprooted, indicative of 95-100mph wind. While sporadic damage was noted east of that location in the county, this was more likely due to the surge in the line as the meso vortex weakened. .Linn Tornado...

Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 7.28 miles Path Width /maximum/: 400 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 02:40 PM EDT Start Location: Cokeburg / Washington County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0971 / -80.0673 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 02:49 PM EDT End Location: 2 SW Twilight / Washington County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0998 / -79.9299 Survey Summary: On the afternoon of June 6, 2026, an EF1 tornado, generated within a squall line, tracked just over 7 miles eastward across Washington County, PA. The tornado first formed near Cokeburg, snapping large pine trees between Route 917 and Washington Street. After a brief lift, it reformed two miles east near Ellsworth, along Beallsville Road and Cherry Street. This segment recorded the highest intensity, with maximum wind gusts of 110 mph. Damage included the snapping of approximately 50 hardwood trees and partial roof damage to one home on Cherry Street from a falling tree. The tornado continued its path, primarily snapping or uprooting hardwood trees as it crossed Deems Park Road, Woodland Road, Locust Road, Scenic Drive, California Drive, and Deer Run Lane, before finally dissipating at Cross Ridge Road. The National Weather Service would like to thank the Washington County Department of Public Safety for their assistance with this survey. .Centerville Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.56 miles Path Width /maximum/: 350 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 02:45 PM EDT Start Location: 1 E Centerville / Washington County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0296 / -79.9433 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 02:47 PM EDT End Location: 1 ENE Centerville / Washington County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0319 / -79.9333 Survey Summary: A strong line of storms with embedded mesovortices moved across Washington county on June 6th. As the storm was approaching Centerville, the vortex tightened as noted on radar. This coincides with a swath of damage to trees from just west of Conti Road to Spring Road, with nearly 200 trees down around the National Pike Steam Show property. Trees were both snapped and uprooted, indicative of 95-100mph wind. While sporadic damage was noted east of that location in the county, this was more likely due to the surge in the line as the meso vortex weakened. .Linn Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.43 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 02:50 PM EDT Start Location: 2 ENE Brownsville / Fayette County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0257 / -79.8613 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 02:51 PM EDT End Location: 2 ENE Brownsville / Fayette County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0258 / -79.8533 Survey Summary: A strong line of storms crossed over the Monongahela River at around 2:49pm on June 6th. An embedded meso-vortex developed in the line with tightening rotation around 2:50pm, when the tornado is estimated to have touched down in Linn near Railroad Avenue. Time was estimated from radar. The strongest winds accelerated on the southern end of the vortex as it moved downhill into Redstone Creek Valley. Winds on the southern end of the vortex and northern end of the rear flank downdraft were the strongest, estimated at 100mph with a large amount of small hardwood trees down. The strongest winds were along Braznell Concrete Road, just northeast of its intersection with Taylor Flats Road. Some shingle damage was noted on a home before it ended. The vortex collapsed, along with a weakening of the rear flank downdraft push around 2:51pm after crossing Braznell Concrete Road one more time. The National Weather Service would like to thank Fayette County Emergency Management for their assistance with this survey. .Virgin Run Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.11 miles Path Width /maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 02:57 PM EDT Start Location: 2 S Perryopolis / Fayette County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0562 / -79.7553 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 03:02 PM EDT End Location: Vanderbilt / Fayette County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0385 / -79.6627 Survey Summary: A strong line of storms entered northern Fayette County, crossing Route 51 at around 2:56pm on June 6th. At the same time, it was evident that an embedded meso-vortex developed based on radar; this rotation extended to the surface resulting in an estimated tornado touchdown near Reservoir Road just east-southeast of Star Junction at 2:57pm. Time was estimated from radar. Damage continued, coincident with the vortex, and just south of the vortex for around 5.1 miles. Damage was sporadic at times, the tornado may have lifted and re-formed multiple times. Most damage was hardwood trees uprooted along Maplewood Road, Virgin Run Road, and Dickerson Run Road. The strongest wind was estimated at 90mph along Maplewood Road, just west of its intersection with Virgin Run Road where multiple hardwood trees were down with shingle damage to a home at around 2:58pm. The tornado continued, crossing the ridgetop just west of Dickerson Run road where drone footage shows a narrow swath of convergent tree damage, before the vortex continued across multiple fields, ending near Cemetery Road just north of Vanderbilt at 3:02pm. The National Weather Service would like to thank Fayette County Emergency Management for their assistance with this survey. .Jacobs Creek Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 107 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.20 miles Path Width /maximum/: 400 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/06/2026 Start Time: 03:00 PM EDT Start Location: 2 N Perryopolis / Fayette County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.1101 / -79.7424 End Date: 06/06/2026 End Time: 03:05 PM EDT End Location: 3 WNW Scottdale / Westmoreland County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.1232 / -79.6457 Survey Summary: A brief EF1 tornado struck the northern border of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on the afternoon of June 6, 2026, originating within a squall line. The tornado was active for four to five minutes, starting its track between Banning and Layton in Fayette County. Following a path that included Banning Road, Cross Road, and Boy Scout Road, the tornado's wind gusts, which peaked between 95 and 110 mph, snapped and uprooted numerous large hardwood trees. The damage extended to remote locations, as aerial video provided by the South Huntington Township volunteer fire department later confirmed. The tornado dissipated in southern Westmoreland County where Meadow Run Road and Epsey Road meet. The National Weather Service would like to thank Fayette County Emergency Management, the Westmoreland County Department of Public Safety, and the East Huntingdon Emergency Management Coordinator for their assistance with this survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$

666 NOUS41 KPBZ 152246 PNSPBZ PAZ016-161100- PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 646 PM EDT Mon Jun 15 2026 ...NWS Damage Survey Summary for June 14th, 2026 Tornado Event... .Overview... As of this writing, a total of three tornadoes have been confirmed to have occurred during the late afternoon of June 14th. Two of these tornadoes occurred as mesovortices embedded in a larger squall line with another from a discrete supercell. Additional surveys and survey results are pending further evaluation and will be updated as soon as possible. .Jefferson County, PA Tornado... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: Estimated 3 miles Path Width /maximum/: TBD yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 04:37 PM EDT Start Location: 2 NE Oliveburg / Jefferson County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 41.0060 / -79.0156 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 4:46 PM EDT End Location: 1 NE Anita / Jefferson County / PA End Lat/Lon: 41.0119 / -78.9539 With the guidance of Jefferson County EMA, today a survey team from NWS Pittsburgh evaluated damage from Sunday's storms in Jefferson County, PA. The team has confirmed that the damage observed was the result of a tornado. Damage was first seen in a wooded area bounded by Nickles Road and London Road, mainly in the form of sporadic snapped limbs. As the storm emerged from the wooded area, it snapped softwood trees at a farmstead near Burns and Anita-Oliveburg Road. The tornado weakened briefly as it progressed eastward, with intermittent damage to limbs along Anita-Oliveburg Road, including one on a shed. After crossing to Knox Dale Road, the tornadic circulation strengthened and grew in size, and damage became considerably more consistent and notable. Beginning here and continuing northeast toward Route 310, large swaths of healthy and sturdy hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted, most notably near Team Road and along an adjacent hillside. On this hillside was the most significant damage, where almost no tree was left intact. Wind speed here was estimated to be at least 110 mph, at the high end of the EF1 scale. After descending the hill to a neighborhood north of Anita, the circulation weakened only slightly, and damage continued, consisting of snapped and uprooted trees along Route 310. Also in this area, a home lost its carport and suffered light damage to siding and roof material. Here wind was most consistent with 90-100 mph speed. No damage was made available to the survey team beyond this location, and it would appear the tornado weakened rapidly after this point. There were several inaccessible damage swaths that will benefit from an aerial survey, the result of which is anticipated to be provided by Jefferson County EMA later this week. Observed damage is consistent with a high-end EF1 wind speed (max wind 110 mph), which will be reevaluated upon review of any aerial survey that can be obtained of the inaccessible locations. No tornadic damage was reported elsewhere. Additional extensive searches for damage were conducted in the Ringgold area near Corsica, to no avail. Details of the path length and width will be finalized on Tuesday after quality control of damage points is undertaken. This is the first tornado recorded in Jefferson County, PA since October 2021. NWS Pittsburgh is grateful for the assistance of Jefferson County EMA, local township fire department personnel, and the public for their damage reports that facilitated the completion of this survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Kramar/JF

This is the second update which includes two new tornadoes that were found in Butler County and three confirmed tornadoes in Columbiana County into Beaver County. It also includes the previously documented Jefferson County tornado but with updated information. This puts the event total at 6 tornadoes and a total of 13 tornadoes for the year in the NWS Pittsburgh forecast area. .Anita PA Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.72 miles Path Width /maximum/: 300 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 04:36 PM EDT Start Location: 4 NW Punxsutawney / Jefferson County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 41.0042 / -79.013 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 04:49 PM EDT End Location: 4 WNW Big Run / Jefferson County / PA End Lat/Lon: 41.0151 / -78.9473 Survey Summary: With the guidance of Jefferson County EMA, a survey team from NWS Pittsburgh evaluated damage from Sunday's storms in Jefferson County, PA. The team has confirmed that the damage observed was the result of a tornado. Damage was first seen in a wooded area bounded by Nickles Road and London Road, mainly in the form of sporadic snapped limbs. As the storm emerged from the wooded area, it snapped softwood trees at a farmstead near Burns and Anita Oliveburg Road. The tornado weakened briefly as it progressed eastward, with intermittent damage to limbs along Anita Oliveburg Road and Blocks Rd, including one on a shed. After crossing to Knox Dale Road, the tornadic circulation strengthened and grew in size, and damage became considerably more consistent and notable. Beginning here and continuing northeast toward Route 310, large swaths of healthy and sturdy hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted, most notably near Team Road and along an adjacent hillside. On this hillside was the most significant damage, where almost no tree was left intact. Wind speed here was estimated to be at least 110 mph, at the high end of the EF1 scale. After descending the hill toward Shane Dr, the circulation weakened only slightly, and damage continued, consisting of snapped and uprooted trees along Route 310. Also in this area, a home lost its carport and suffered light damage to siding and roof material. Here, wind was most consistent with 90-100 mph speed. *NEW* Damage to a barn and trees along Graffius Ave Ext was brought to the survey team's attention on Tuesday, enabling the survey team to extend the prior path over the hillside adjacent to Shane Dr. There were several inaccessible damage swaths that will benefit from an aerial survey, which the survey team has received and will examine over the coming days. Observed damage is consistent with a high-end EF1 wind speed (max wind 110 mph), which will be reevaluated upon review of the provided aerial survey. No tornadic damage was reported elsewhere across Jefferson County. Additional extensive searches for damage were conducted in the Ringgold area, and near Corsica, to no avail. As of this update, the tornado's path is updated to 3.7 miles long, and width of 300 yd. This is the first tornado recorded in Jefferson County, PA since October 2021. NWS Pittsburgh is grateful for the assistance of Jefferson County EMA, local township fire department personnel, and the public for their damage reports that facilitated the completion of this survey. .Moraine North Shore in Slippery Rock PA... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 97 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.21 miles Path Width /maximum/: 60 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 05:34 PM EDT Start Location: 4 N Portersville / Butler County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.9897 / -80.1391 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:38 PM EDT End Location: 2 SSW West Liberty / Butler County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.9851 / -80.0803 Survey Summary: The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh concluded an EF1 tornado touched down just north of Moraine State Park on Sunday June 14th. The tornado started on Patterson Road, west of West Park Road, then moved east, snapping large branches and a few trees near the trunk along Cornellus Road. There was a brief period when the twister lifted before it came back down and caused tree damage on Cornellus road. The largest amount of tree damage was observed on West Park Road where an old barn roof was lifted off and numerous large trees had branches knocked down. .Muddy Creek Road near Route 8 in Slippery Rock PA... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.63 miles Path Width /maximum/: 40 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 05:46 PM EDT Start Location: 4 ESE West Liberty / Butler County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.9775 / -79.9814 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:46 PM EDT End Location: 4 SW West Sunbury / Butler County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.9723 / -79.972 Survey Summary: A separate circulation produced a second tornado (EF0 intensity) southeast of the first track. This storm broke large hardwood tree branches. No structural damage was observed or reported. Additional damage farther into the wooded areas is possible and could necessiate future changes if aerial footage is obtained at a later date. The tornado lifted before the intersection of Muddy Creek Drive and Route 8 since no damage was found east of Route 8. With these two tornadoes, this marks 30 documented tornadoes for Butler County since 1880. The last reported tornado for Butler County was May 2025. .Near Salem OH Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 10.8 miles Path Width /maximum/: 450 yards Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 04:56 PM EDT Start Location: 2.5 SW Salem / Columbiana County / OH Start Lat/Lon: 40.8861 / -80.9014 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:08 PM EDT End Location: 3 WSW Middleton / Columbiana County / OH End Lat/Lon: 40.8331 / -80.7078 Survey Summary: Tornado damage was first noted near the intersection of Cider Mill Road and Georgetown Road, with some trees snapped and uprooted. As the tornado traveled southeast, it ripped off and threw a metal sheet 800ft into neighboring properties and into the trees. Several trees in this location were also snapped half way up the base or uprooted. Additional damage was noted, again to trees along Steward Road and Hunt Road. Here, trees were uprooted and snapped, bringing down a power pole. A house also had some shingles removed and three large pines uprooted. A definitive path continued to the south and east with additional damage noted along Depot Road, State Route 45, Salem Grange Road, Lisbon Road and just south of State Route 558. All of this damage was to trees. The tornado then lifted just west of State Route 11, near Lower Elton Road, where damage became much more sporadic and more indicative of straight-line winds. The National Weather Service would like to thank Columbiana County Emergency Management for assistance on this survey. .Near Cannelton PA Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.78 miles Path Width /maximum/: 140 yards Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 05:24 PM EDT Start Location: 1 ENE Negley / Columbiana County / OH Start Lat/Lon: 40.793 / -80.5239 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:26 PM EDT End Location: 2 WSW Cannelton / Beaver County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.7882 / -80.5112 Survey Summary: The cell that produced the tornado near Salem continued to track southeastward toward Negley OH with a much weaker presentation on radar than it had prior. Just before the storm reached the state border, another tightening of the couplet was noted coincident with a swath of damage along and south of Darlington/Cannelton Road. Here, several trees were downed along the Youngstown and Southern Railroad tracks and on a property just across the PA state line into Beaver County. At this location, an awning of a garage was ripped off and flipped over the garage, from south to north, as trees were snapped and uprooted through the property. This would be where the tornado was strongest before beginning to weaken as it moved to the southwest. Some tree damage was noted just south of Cannelton Road before Watts Mills Road but no additional damage was noted east of there. Pending additional aerial surveys, the track could be extended southeast, but radar suggests that a storm developing ahead of this one disrupted its tornadogenesis and likely precluded too much farther tracking of the tornado southeast. .Near Beaver Falls PA Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.73 miles Path Width /maximum/: 200 yards Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 05:36 PM EDT Start Location: 1 NW Racine / Beaver County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.7671 / -80.3523 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:38 PM EDT End Location: 1 NW Beaver Falls / Beaver County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.7642 / -80.3391 Survey Summary: Concentrated damage was first noted by Darling Road and Clayton Road, which was coincident with a tightening couplet on the radar. Damage in this location was mainly to trees, with large branches snapped and one tree uprooted. Damage then continued along Clayton Road and in the neighborhood just south of Clayton Road. Some siding was ripped off a home on George Street and trees were snapped off at varying levels in a southeastward direction. A garage was smashed after a portion of a pine tree was sheared off at its top. Tree damage was noted until around 27th Street, when the tornado appears to have lifted coincident with weakening of the radar signature. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Frazier

Several trees in this location were also snapped half way up the base or uprooted. Additional damage was noted, again to trees along Steward Road and Hunt Road. Here, trees were uprooted and snapped, bringing down a power pole. A house also had some shingles removed and three large pines uprooted. A definitive path continued to the south and east with additional damage noted along Depot Road, State Route 45, Salem Grange Road, Lisbon Road and just south of State Route 558. All of this damage was to trees. The tornado then lifted just west of State Route 11, near Lower Elton Road, where damage became much more sporadic and more indicative of straight-line winds. The National Weather Service would like to thank Columbiana County Emergency Management for assistance on this survey. .Near Cannelton PA Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.78 miles Path Width /maximum/: 140 yards Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 05:24 PM EDT Start Location: 1 ENE Negley / Columbiana County / OH Start Lat/Lon: 40.793 / -80.5239 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:26 PM EDT End Location: 2 WSW Cannelton / Beaver County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.7882 / -80.5112 Survey Summary: The cell that produced the tornado near Salem continued to track southeastward toward Negley OH with a much weaker presentation on radar than it had prior. Just before the storm reached the state border, another tightening of the couplet was noted coincident with a swath of damage along and south of Darlington/Cannelton Road. Here, several trees were downed along the Youngstown and Southern Railroad tracks and on a property just across the PA state line into Beaver County. At this location, an awning of a garage was ripped off and flipped over the garage, from south to north, as trees were snapped and uprooted through the property. This would be where the tornado was strongest before beginning to weaken as it moved to the southwest. Some tree damage was noted just south of Cannelton Road before Watts Mills Road but no additional damage was noted east of there. Pending additional aerial surveys, the track could be extended southeast, but radar suggests that a storm developing ahead of this one disrupted its tornadogenesis and likely precluded too much farther tracking of the tornado southeast. .Near Beaver Falls PA Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.73 miles Path Width /maximum/: 200 yards Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/14/2026 Start Time: 05:36 PM EDT Start Location: 1 NW Racine / Beaver County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.7671 / -80.3523 End Date: 06/14/2026 End Time: 05:38 PM EDT End Location: 1 NW Beaver Falls / Beaver County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.7642 / -80.3391 Survey Summary: Concentrated damage was first noted by Darling Road and Clayton Road, which was coincident with a tightening couplet on the radar. Damage in this location was mainly to trees, with large branches snapped and one tree uprooted. Damage then continued along Clayton Road and in the neighborhood just south of Clayton Road. Some siding was ripped off a home on George Street and trees were snapped off at varying levels in a southeastward direction. A garage was smashed after a portion of a pine tree was sheared off at its top. Tree damage was noted until around 27th Street, when the tornado appears to have lifted coincident with weakening of the radar signature. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Kramar/Frazier/Miller/McMullen

Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.22 miles Path Width /maximum/: 140 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/22/2026 Start Time: 05:14 PM EDT Start Location: 2 SSW Vanderbilt / Fayette County / PA Start Lat/Lon: 40.0072 / -79.6794 End Date: 06/22/2026 End Time: 05:16 PM EDT End Location: 2 SSE Vanderbilt / Fayette County / PA End Lat/Lon: 40.0045 / -79.6575 Survey Summary: A mesovortex developed along a quasi-linear convective system as it crossed from Washington into Fayette County, PA around 4:45 PM on the evening of June 22nd. Rotation tightened until the storm produced a short tornado in the Sandy Hollow area, south of Vanderbilt. Tree damage was initially noted along Little Summit Road. The tornado then crossed Lower Sandy Hollow Road, passed through a field and clipped the tops of trees in a wooded area before crossing Upper Sandy Hollow Road. It lifted shortly thereafter. A majority of the damage was snapped hard and softwood trees along with large branches. Structural damage was limited to a partially blown-in garage door along Lower Sandy Hallow Road. Of note, this is the second tornado to have crossed Lower Sandy Hollow Road this month. An EF1 tornado also crossed just west of the path on June 6, 2026, with damage from the two separate storms overlapping in several areas. Special thanks to the public for providing invaluable aerial imagery which aided the damage analysis. .Reubens Run Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 80 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.22 miles Path Width /maximum/: 25 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/22/2026 Start Time: 06:11 PM EDT Start Location: 4 E Fairmont / Marion County / WV Start Lat/Lon: 39.4799 / -80.0648 End Date: 06/22/2026 End Time: 06:12 PM EDT End Location: 4 E Fairmont / Marion County / WV End Lat/Lon: 39.481 / -80.061 Survey Summary: A discrete cell ahead of an incoming line of storms developed over western Marion County at around 5:30pm on the evening of June 22nd. As the storm matured, it developed mid-level rotation and turned right, becoming more favorable for tornado-genesis. The first sign of a touchdown occurred at 6:11pm, with the time estimated from radar. This occurred just south of Reubens Run Road in Marion County. A narrow swath of trees was downed just south of the road, and one tree was reported down on a car along Cowger Lane. The tornado lifted just one minute later at 6:12pm. In the succeeding minutes, the mid-level rotation weakened aloft upon crossing into Preston County and interacting with terrain. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Rackley/Milcarek
