| Episode Narrative | A cold front moved across the Permian Basin before stalling during the afternoon. Several intense supercells formed along and behind this front, producing very large hail. Another area of thunderstorms developed near Fort Stockton. Very large hail and several tornadoes were produced by these supercells as they tracked southeast, mainly between US Highway 385 and US Highway 285. |
| Event Narrative | An observer shared a video of a tornado briefly visible through heavy rain just west of US Highway 285. Observers lost a visual of the tornado a short time afterward. A strong couplet was noted on radar for several minutes after this video as the tornado likely slowly moved southeast, dissipating just west of the highway. A survey could not be conducted as the area west of US Highway 285 is inaccessible and no indicators showed the tornado crossing the highway. The track of this tornado is an estimation based on observer reports and radar data. No damage was reported. |
