The wider storm
A strong upper level disturbance interacted with an increasingly unstable airmass to produce supercell thunderstorms. These supercell thunderstorms resulted in many reports of large hail and damaging winds on April 11.
A couple of long track supercells spawned at least two tornadoes shortly after midnight on Easter Sunday April 12. One twister tracked near Melvin and stayed over ranch land, while another tornado tracked south of Ozona and also remained mostly over ranch land. At the beginning of it's life cycle, the tornado in Crockett County struck a residence and resulted in EF-0 damage.
Began near El Dorado Muni Arpt (30.8600, -100.6000).
