An EF1 tornado touched down twice in Paxton and Holden, Massachusetts on Saturday, a team of field inspectors from the National Weather Service confirmed Monday after surveying damage in the area.

The tornado touched down at 4:07 p.m. Saturday as severe thunderstorms spread across Massachusetts. No injuries were reported.

"NWS Boston meteorologists conducting a storm survey have determined that a brief EF1 tornado occurred in Paxton MA with a second brief touchdown in Holden MA also determined to be EF1," the National Weather Service said in a statement.

EF1 tornadoes have winds in the range of 86 mph to 110 mph, and it's believed this tornado was on the lower end of the range. This is the first tornado confirmed in New England in 2025.
