Episode Narrative An approaching weather system interacted with a moist and unstable environment over the Texas Panhandle resulting in one of the most significant severe weather episodes of the 2015 spring season. The majority of the severe weather occurred across the eastern half of the Panhandle. Numerous hail events occurred with hail up to the size of baseballs and slightly larger occurring in the most intense supercell thunderstorms. In some cases storms were very efficient hail producers and accumulation of hail several inches deep occurred. A total of six tornadoes were identified by storm spotters, storm chasers, public officials and through official National Weather Service damage surveys.
Event Narrative Storm chasers observed a non-mesocyclonic tornado near Conway. A National Weather Service damage survey found minor telephone pole damage. A damage rating of EF-0 was assigned to this tornado. Estimated peak winds were 70 mph.
