EF0 tornado in Reagan County, Texas

A brief tornado developed near a residence, doing minor damage. The time of the tornado's formation was estimated from radar and the storm report from the owner of the home. At approximately 17:35 pm CST, the tornado blew an old telephone antenna a couple hundred yards away. It then blew a stack of wooden pallets 15 to 20 yards away. In addition, several 5 inch limbs were broken off of trees. The tornado lasted less than 2 minutes.

During the late morning hours, an upper level disturbance slowly progressed over the area. At the surface, abundant low level moisture was available due to southeasterly to easterly winds. A nearly stationary frontal boundary across the Permian basin provided a focus for rapid thunderstorm development. Several supercell thunderstorms resulted in widespread severe weather in the form of tornadoes, flash flooding and large hail across the Texas Permian Basin. The supercell thunderstorms eventually diminished during the late evening hours across the southern Permian Basin.
