As thunderstorms initially developed over Hockley County, several landspout tornadoes were observed in vicinity of the southward moving cold front. Despite minimal large scale ascent, thunderstorms were able to rapidly intensity underneath a very unstable atmosphere. Hail became as large as 3.50 inches in diameter with these thunderstorms over Terry County.
