SURVEY SUMMARY:
A NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND STORM SURVEY DETERMINED THAT
A BRIEF EF-0 TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN ON THE WEST SIDE OF
CONNEAUTVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA, AT ABOUT 4:10 PM EDT ON SUNDAY, JUNE
14, 2026.
THE TORNADO LEFT A PATH OF DAMAGE, UPROOTING SEVERAL
TREES AND SNAPPING LARGE LIMBS ALONG MULBERRY LANE AND MULBERRY
STREET. THE CIRCULATION THEN MOVED EAST ACROSS MULBERRY STREET,
CAUSING ADDITIONAL TREE DAMAGE BEFORE DISSIPATING SHORTLY
THEREAFTER. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL TREES WERE UPROOTED AND SNAPPED
ALONG STATE HIGHWAY 198.
BASED ON THE OBSERVED DAMAGE, THE TORNADO'S MAXIMUM WINDS WERE
ESTIMATED AT 85 MPH, YIELDING AN EF-0 RATING. THE TORNADO WAS 100
YARDS WIDE. IT WAS BRIEF AND PRODUCED A RELATIVELY SHORT DAMAGE
PATH BEFORE EVOLVING INTO STRAIGHT-LINE THUNDERSTORM WINDS.
ALTHOUGH THE TORNADIC CIRCULATION ENDED, STRONG STRAIGHT-LINE
WINDS PERSISTED SOUTH OF THE TORNADO PATH. THESE WINDS CAUSED
ADDITIONAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING SEVERAL TREES DOWNED ACROSS THE
RAILROAD TRACKS NEAR MAIN STREET AND SMITH AVENUE. MAXIMUM
STRAIGHT-LINE WIND SPEEDS REACHED 80 MPH.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CLEVELAND THANKS THE CRAWFORD COUNTY
EMA FOR ITS ASSISTANCE DURING THE STORM SURVEY.
