A tornado began less than a mile southwest of Womelsdorf along PA Route 419 between Memorial Boulevard and Brickplant Road just over the Berks and Lebanon County line where a few old wooden telephone poles were pushed over. The tornado continued northeast through a field toward the Conrad Weiser West Elementary School. A few softwood trees in a tree line were snapped or uprooted along the property line of the field and the school. This is the location where the tornado reached its maximum estimated winds of 90 mph and maximum width of approximately 125 yards. The tornado continued across the school grounds and into a recreational field where a set
of metal bleachers was blown over. The tornado then moved northeast into the central part of Womelsdorf where varying degrees of minor damage occurred to structures and trees, mainly between 3rd Street and 2nd Street as the tornado crossed Cherry Alley, High Street, Mulberry Alley, and Franklin Street. Several homes, garages, and
barns had roofing material blow off, several small trees were uprooted, and numerous downed large tree branches caused some collateral structural damage to some homes and vehicles. The tornadic circulation began to weaken considerably as it crossed 2nd
Street north of Franklin Street near Pear Alley where some additional minor tree damage occurred. The tornado dissipated as it moved into the Womelsdorf Union Cemetery.
