Tornado in Pecos County, Texas

An observer reported a new tornado in its dissipating stage. This tornado appeared to the observer as a brief rope tornado visible through the rain. The tornado occurred over rugged and inaccessible terrain west of US Highway 285 and was not able to be surveyed. This tornado track is estimated based on observer reports and radar data. This tornado may have been the end of the previous tornado as a strong couplet was maintained during this timeframe but was reported as a separate tornado by observers. No damage was reported.

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.
