Episode Narrative A warm and unstable airmass developed across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley during the day as an ejecting upper trough moved into the Plains. A strong cold front moved out of Southern Oklahoma and North Texas during the day with a very strong pressure gradient ahead of the cold front. Strong gradient winds from the south approached 40 mph across many locations with the ambient temperature reaching 70 degrees. Deep layer shear in the lowest 6 kilometers were in excess of 50kts with strong low level shear noted as well. Combine that with excessive atmospheric lapse rates and all the ingredients were present for strong to severe thunderstorms that produced large hail, damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.
Event Narrative The National Weather Service conducted a storm survey and determined that a weak EF0 tornado touched down 5 miles east northeast of Mount Enterprise, Texas. Damage consisted of several trees snapped and an above-ground swimming pool was wrapped around a tree along FM 95.
