A loosely organized cluster of thunderstorms gradually increased due to surface heating ahead of a weak low pressure center over southern Missouri. These storms occurred in a moderately unstable environment, with around 1500 j/kg of cape. Wind shear was relatively weak, however 30 to 35 knots of mid-level flow atop marginal low-level flow resulted in sufficient shear for a weak, brief tornado. Locally heavy rain under the largest storm cluster caused minor road flooding.
