Radar at Apalachicola had no indication of a tornado or severe weather. In 1987 A storm system moving across the Saint Lawrence Valley produced 40 to 50 mph winds east of Lake Ontario. High winds downed some trees around Watertown NY, and produced waves seven feet high between Henderson Harbor and Alexandria Bay.

Severe thunderstorms in Oklahoma and northern Texas produced golf ball size hail and wind gusts to 65 mph.

Low pressure over James Bay in Canada continued to produced showers and gale force winds in the Great Lakes Region.
