There does not appear to be such an incident based on a look at available data. Such a situation is unlikely to arise, since the Storm Prediction Center is in charge of issuing both severe weather outlooks and tornado watches. If it saw fit to issue a PDS tornado watch, it would likely issue a moderate or high risk outlook as well.
