National Weather Service: Landspout was detected in Randolph County on Tuesday

RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ind. — The National Weather Service detected a landpout in Randolph County on Tuesday night.

The agency confirmed that it has classified Tuesday night’s tornado in Randolph County as a landspout with an EF-U rating. The NWS gave the landspout an EF-U rating because it tracked through open farmland is not believed to have caused any damage.

The NWS determined that Tuesday’s storms produced a landspout in Randolph County by analyzing radar and video.

The agency issued a special weather statement for Randolph County around 6 p.m. The statement indicated a landspout was possible in the area, but hail was not expected.

The special weather statement was issued for a portion of Randolph County near Winchester. In March 2024, a deadly EF-3 tornado ripped through Winchester.

Landspouts and tornadoes are similar but technically different. FOX59/CBS4 Meteorologist Tyler Ryan broke down the differences between the two in a September 2024 report.

While Tuesday’s risk for thunderstorms and other forms of adverse weather has passed, there is still a chance central Indiana could see more severe weather later this week. The NWS has been monitoring a weather system that could produce severe weather on Thursday.

More information on Thursday’s weather system is available here.
