What the National Weather Service wrote

A supercell moved into western Henderson County late in the afternoon June 3rd, 2024. After the storm crossed US-175, a brief tornado developed just north of Eustace. There were several videos and pictures of this tornado, however, the tornado did not produce any damage. The tornado lasted less than a minute before it dissipated prior to reaching FM 1861.

The wider storm

Upper level disturbances interacted with leftover surface outflow boundaries from nocturnal MCSs and allowed for scattered strong to severe storms across the region each afternoon from June 1st to June 3rd. A combination of hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding occurred, but an EF-U tornado also occurred in Henderson County on the 3rd. One life was lost June 3rd in Henderson County due to a falling tree in straight-line winds.

Began near Eustace (32.3409, -95.9806).
