Episode Narrative A large closed upper-low was located over the northern Great Plains with a shortwave trough to the south within the sub-tropical jet stream. These features helped bring rich moisture and instability into the region. Widespread strong to severe thunderstorms developed across much of the region. The Permian Basin and the Stockton Plateau were the two main areas of note. Severe winds, large hail. and a brief tornado was observed in this northern complex. To the south, several long-track, cyclic supercells produced tornadoes and very large hail over rural portions of Pecos and Terrell Counties.
Event Narrative One eyewitness captured a tornado likely in the dissipating stage roughly 10 miles southwest of Sheffield. It is possible the tornado lasted shorter or longer than the estimated time and may have lifted and touched down at multiple points along the path. The survey team was unable to reach the path of the tornado and no damage indicators were found, thus this tornado is classified as an EF-Unknown. Path width is also estimated.
