Scattered severe thunderstorms in advance of a cold front produced damaging winds and two tornadoes across portions of central Virginia.

Tornado in LOUISA, VIRGINIA
From 27-MAY-22 18:51:00 to 27-MAY-22 18:55:00 (EST-5)
Location: LOUISA
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Property damage: 100.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The National Weather Service in Wakefield surveyed the storm damage in central Louisa County and found it to be consistent with low-end EF1 damage with peak wind speeds of 90 to 95 mph. The tornado touched down in an open area southwest of Yanceyville Road near Bend of River. Sparse trees were snapped in the area. The tornado then entered a wooded area northeast of Yanceyville Road with a clear path of snapped and uprooted hardwood trees. The path at this point was over 200 yards wide with likely low-end EF1 damage. Next, the tornado moved through an inaccessible area before impacting a home at the end of a long lane. This home had shingle damage, a window broken, a backdoor ripped off, and damage to the chimney. There was also peripheral damage from snapped and uprooted trees, with a clear and consistent path observed through the trees. The tornado continued through the woods and eventually emerged onto Mount Airy Road and the Hunters Landing subdivision. Numerous large hardwood trees were snapped and uprooted. The fallen trees exhibited a clear circulation pattern in this area as the tornado became quite wide, at least 450 yards. This is where the most concentrated damage occurred and was likely low-end EF1. In addition to tree damage, several homes had shingles ripped off, siding removed, awnings and gutters damaged, and broken windows. Additionally, peripheral damage from fallen trees was observed. From this point, the tornado entered a rural area where the forest had been cleared, with no visible damage indicators. The tornado lifted and dissipated in this area before reaching US-33/Jefferson Highway.

Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The National Weather Service in Wakefield has surveyed the storm damage in far eastern Louisa County and western Hanover County, and found it consistent with damage from a high-end EF0 tornado with peak winds of 85 mph. The tornado touched down at a farm off of Crewsville Road in Eastern Louisa County, damaging multiple trees and destroying a chicken coup. It should be noted that many of the trees here were already in poor shape or damaged from a winter storm earlier in the year. The tornado then tracked from Louisa county into Hanover county.

Tornado in HANOVER, VIRGINIA
From 27-MAY-22 17:27:00 to 27-MAY-22 17:47:00 (EST-5)
Location: MABELTON
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Property damage: 25.00K
Crop damage: 0.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

The tornado tracked from Louisa county into Hanover county. The tornado took a discontinuous path to the northeast along or near Hopeful Church Road into Western Hanover County with mainly small limb damage observed. The next area of more significant damage was at a home along Pleasant Mill Road where multiple trees were snapped, one landing on a home. The damage at this location was widely sporadic in nature and confined to the property. Light tree and limb damage continued off to the northeast along Beaver Dam Road, before all damage came to an end near Beaver Dam Road and Tyler Station Road south of Beaverdam. It should be noted this tornado was likely not on the ground for the approximately 10 miles or time duration, as multiple discontinuities were found in the damage path.
