The wider storm
Severe storms spread across South Texas from the Hill Country as a mid-level shortwave replaced a northward lifting warm front over the region. Significant instability, strong DCAPE, and strong shear over 50 knots set up a favorable environment for strong to severe storms with large hail and damaging winds the primary threats. Supercells developed widespread across the area, with large hail reported over the Coastal Plains and Brush Country, an EF-1 tornado was observed in east Calhoun causing damage to several structures and trees. Severe winds also caused significant damage to an RV park south of Port Lavaca, resulting in 2 injuries and at least 12 RVs damaged or completely destroyed.
Began near Rios (27.4400, -98.2600).
