| Episode Narrative | Early this evening, a stationary front extending from the western Permian Basin northeast to the southern Rolling Plains combined with moderate instability to create a single thunderstorm southwest of Lake Alan Henry. This slow-moving storm quickly became supercellular and over the next two hours moved easterly across southeast Garza, southern Kent and southwest Stonewall Counties. Although this supercell produced a brief EF0 tornado over open land in southwest Stonewall County near sunset, hail was the greatest threat with this storm. Copious amounts of mostly small hail were observed on the north end of Lake Alan Henry in addition to one instance of very large hail up to three inches in diameter in southwest Stonewall County. Late this night, elevated storms developed in the far southeast Texas Panhandle and produced large hail in northeast Hall County. |
| Event Narrative | A storm chaser observed a tornado for about two minutes. The tornado was visible only as a rotating plume of dirt underneath a rotating cloud base. No damage survey was conducted as the tornado remained over undeveloped land. |
