| Episode Narrative | The severe weather event that struck the Great Plains on the 28th ranks as the most significant tornado outbreak recorded in the month of March. A pair of tornadic supercells initially erupted along the dryline over the central South Plains during the late afternoon hours, and tracked northeastward across the extreme southeastern Panhandle through the early evening. These two storms produced a total of seven tornadoes in the South Plains region. The hardest hit areas were near Silverton and Antelope Flat in Briscoe County. No injuries were reported.|By late evening, the retreating dryline merged with an advancing Pacific front. This initiated at line of severe storms over the western South Plains that progressed eastward over the region through the early morning hours of the 29th. These storms resulted in widespread reports of large hail up to the size of golfballs and damaging winds. |
| Event Narrative | Multiple reports indicated that flash flooding resulted in flood waters in city streets in Ralls and Lorenzo. |
