An EF-1 touched down in the northwestern portion of Burlington County around 10:36 p.m., making this the third confirmed tornado in the area this month.

Winds reached between 80 and 90 MPH, and the path length was 7.9 miles, the NWS said.

A "strong rotation" was picked up by the NWS' radars, but that could have been just a funnel cloud that never touched down, NJ.com previously said citing NWS Mount Holly meteorologist Dean Iovino.
