The first tornado confirmed by the agency was an EF0 that started at 5:08 p.m. along 101st Airborne Division Road in northern Clarksville. With a path 9.41 miles long and about 100 yards wide, the NWS said that this tornado caused minor tree damage and uprooted tree tops near Britton Springs Road and Norris Drive and had a peak wind speed of 75 miles per hour.

It continued northeast, crossing Highway 41A and continued to damage trees as it went. This tornado lifted north of West Creek Middle School and south of Tiny Town Road, the NWS added.

Specifically, this EF0 tornado touched down at 5:25 p.m. In its 3.21 mile-long, 200-yard wide path, several trees leaned and were felled by the twister's winds — which reportedly peaked at 85 miles per hour. The tornado moved to the northeast and lifted prior to reaching Trough Springs Road and Interstate 24.

The final tornado confirmed by the NWS Wednesday was confirmed in southern Cumberland County. The EF1 reportedly had maximum wind speeds of 105 miles per hour.
