Tornado. A trained spotter noted a funnel cloud approaching the city of Merced and tracked the northward movement of that funnel. At 1448 PST the funnel removed half of the corrugated roof of a farm maintenance shop and lifted it up and over adjacent power lines to the north. Eyewitness accounts indicated rotation and movement of the lowest level clouds toward the NE approximately 0.19 miles. Other than two ground contact points, beginning and end of the damage track, there was no evidence of any other ground contact from the funnel. Analysis by a local structural engineer aided in the assignment of the F0 rating.

Locally heavy rain was reported in downtown Merced with 0.69" of rain in one hour the afternoon of the 22nd with 1.1" of rain received over the 24-hour period from the afternoon of the 21st through the afternoon of the 22nd. Numerous reports of flooded buildings and homes were received with an awning in downtown Merced collapsing due to ponded water on its roof. A pump house and carport lost roofs which subsequently damaged nearby power lines. Local fire department assessed the cause of the damage from a strong southwest wind gust. Radar indicated that the wind was associated from an east moving line of convection in the Los Banos area of West Merced County during the mid-afternoon. With the shower activity over Central California, gusty wind also caused some minor damage in Ridgecrest, Kern County, as a large tree was toppled.
