EF0 tornado in Tarrant County, Texas

Damage survey and Doppler radar data confirm that an EF0 tornado with peak winds of 85 MPH struck the City of Euless. The damage path was somewhat sporadic, but in a corridor that lined up well with a strong velocity couplet seen in Doppler radar data. Furthermore, eyewitnesses from the Euless Fire Department on Harwood Rd reported observing a funnel cloud to the south of their location and above the eventual damage path. The damage path began along Ector Dr and tracked generally towards the northeast with the most significant damage noted along Milam Dr and Harris Dr. Damage mostly consisted of trees limbs down, though a few larger trees were blown over as well. Structural damage was minimal and generally only occurred when trees fell on top of homes. The damage path ended near the intersection of Harwood Dr and N Euless Main. Radar data suggests that the tornado was on the ground no longer than about two minutes.

A strong shortwave trough aided in the development of scattered to numerous thunderstorms during the late morning, afternoon, and evening hours of March 21. Thunderstorms initially fired along a dryline, many of which became severe, and some of which produced strong tornadoes. A total of 17 tornadoes were confirmed by storm survey teams, the strongest of which was the EF-3 Jacksboro tornado. One death occurred in a tornado in Grayson County near the Red River.
