Episode Narrative An unstable atmosphere, with strong wind shear and moderate instability, resulted in the development of a Quasi-Linear Convective System or squall line as a Pacific cold front move across West Central Texas. This system produced a tornado in a rural area just southeast of Brady and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts just east of Menard.
Event Narrative A National Weather Service Damage Survey team determined an EF-2 tornado touched down about 8 miles southeast of Brady. Numerous hardwood trees were uprooted and many tree trunks were snapped off.
