The tornado developed just north of the Wray airport. It remained semi-stationary for the first few minutes of its lifetime before moving north. The tornado crossed Highway 385 just north of the CR 39 intersection. As it crossed the highway it strewed barb wire fencing across the road, picked up a semi and the attached trailer, tossing them east of the highway. Cargo from the trailer was blown across the highway. A tractor parked near the highway was flipped on its side at this same location. Near this same location a mobile home had the roof removed by the tornado. Law enforcement reported around 40 electrical poles were down due to the tornado. According to law enforcement four people impacted by the tornado had minor injuries. The tornado's path was in the rural areas north of Wray. The tornado ended before reaching CR 45 east of Highway 385.
