| Episode Narrative | A disturbance in the quasi-zonal/northwesterly flow aloft, a dryline, and a cold front moving across the northern Permian Basin allowed for the development of scattered thunderstorms across Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Thunderstorm coverage continued to increase into the afternoon and evening, and a number of storms became severe. The strongest storm of the day was in Dawson and Howard counties. This storm latched onto the stationary boundary and produced two brief EF-1 tornadoes in Dawson County as well as damaging straight line winds and large hail. Other thunderstorms also produced large hail and damaging winds, and a landspout was reported near Loving, New Mexico. |
| Event Narrative | A dusty tornado was reported west of Highway 137, northwest of Lamesa. Damage was surveyed at a home, with the awning and trees being damaged. This tornado had an estimated wind speed of 100 MPH and was rated EF-1. Open fields along the estimated tornado path limited the details of the tornado track. The tornado track and time of occurrence is radar estimated. The cost of damages is also estimated. |
