Event narrative

Tornado moved south to north crossing central College Station. Touchdown reported near Longmire Street and FM 2818. Several businesses and an apartment complex received significant damage. The majority of the damage was concentrated along the Harvey Mitchell Parkway.

Wider weather episode

A large upper-level low moving into west Texas from AZ-NM provided the large scale lift, or dynamics. Ample low-level instability, mainly very high southeasterly winds just off the surface with good veering of winds under 4k ft, set the stage for isolated tornadoes, damaging straight line winds, and south-to-north streamer/training cells.
