Narrative:
The aircraft was cleared for takeoff. Both wind and turbulence information were given to the pilot. At aircraft rotation the aircraft banked to the left for a split second and then returned to a wings level attitude. I did not observe the right wing of the aircraft make contact with the runway. The pilot did not say anything about hitting the wing on the runway; so I turned the aircraft and switched them to departure.
