EF1 tornado in Navarro County, Texas

A National Weather Service survey crew found evidence of a relatively brief QLCS tornado over southeastern Navarro County. The tornado first occurred near US 287, on the north side of Richland Chambers Reservior. Near the beginning point of this tornado, several power poles were broken. The tornado then moved northeast, damaging two manufactured homes.

This was a multi-day severe weather and flood event. It started with a large-scale upper level low pressure system which deepened over the Four-Corners region. Moisture and instability increased in advance of this system. Storms developed along a dry line Monday afternoon, many of which produced severe weather or flash flooding or both. Another area of storms formed ahead of the upper trough over northwest Texas Monday night and pushed east-southeast across the area Tuesday, producing severe weather and flooding. A third round of storms produced flooding across mainly the southern half of the region Tuesday night into Wednesday.
