What the National Weather Service wrote

This tornado was reported and photographed as a dusty circulation lasting about 10 minutes in rural Pecos County west of Hovey Road. This circulation may have been a landspout initially before developing into a tornado as a rapidly developing updraft and mesocyclone formed overhead based on radar data. This area is open terrain and unable to be surveyed, therefore the tornado was rated EF-Unknown. Using photos and radar data, an approximate damage path was created.

The wider storm

Continued troughing across the western CONUS with shortwave impulses moving into the southern Great Plains aided in the development of afternoon severe thunderstorms and localized flash flooding across the Davis Mountains and vicinity.

Began near Hovey (30.7900, -103.4800).
