Early March 2017 Tornado Sequence

The Early March 2017 Tornado Sequence was a series of tornadoes that formed across multiple states from March 2 - March 8, 2017. However, this sequence was considerably smaller then other tornado sequences.

Meteorological History
On February 27, the extratropical remnants of Typhoon Muifa struck the Pacific Northwest, and gradually moved south towards Mexico. On March 1, the storm hit an area of warm air and high pressure, spawning severe thunderstorms. 16 hours later, in the morning of March 2, the thunderstorms dropped a few tornadoes. This trend continued as the storm moved East-Northeast over the next few days. Along with multiple tornadoes, large hail up to 4.5 inches in diameter and winds gusting to 85 mph struck the Southwest and southern Plains. The storms met their height over Texas, then rapidly weakened as they moved into Kansas and Missouri. However, despite not being as severe, heavy rains caused major flooding in parts of Missouri, with some flood waters lingering for several days. Then, on March 8, the storms became not but a rainstorm over eastern Missouri early that morning.
