The Mothers day severe thunderstorm
episode was quite interesting. Early
in the day a thunderstorm complex from
the night before was just exiting the
San Angelo forecast area, and we were
trying to determine if the atmosphere
would recover in time for another
severe weather episode that afternoon.
Shortly before noon another upper air
disturbance moving out of New Mexico
set the stage for moisture to move
back into the area around the ongoing
thunderstorm complex over central
Texas. By around 1 PM. Thunderstorms
began to develop on the radar and
quickly went severe. While there were
several severe thunderstorms that day
across much of the area, two supercell
thunderstorms were noted. One supercell
thunderstorm developed in western
Taylor County and moved across much of
southern Taylor county. While this
storm prompted a couple of tornado
warnings, no tornadoes were reported.
This storm did produce very large hail
from Ovalo to Tuscola.
Another supercell thunderstorm
developed over northern Concho County
near Paint Rock. As this thunderstorm
developed, it remained nearly
stationary over the community of Paint
Rock producing large hail for over a
half hour. This storm then gradually
moved to the southeast across eastern
Concho County and western McCulloch
County. The storm weakened a short time
over western McCulloch county. However,
another thunderstorm moved into this
storm from the southwest and the
supercell thunderstorm ingested the
smaller thunderstorm and became a big
monster storm once again over southern
McCulloch and Mason Counties. During
this phase of the thunderstorm, tornado
warnings were issued. Once again no
tornadoes were reported. The storm did
produce very large hail, with the
largest hail noted just to the east of
Mason. The hail was softball size.

A severe weather episode broke out
across much of west central Texas on
the evening of the 31st when a strong
upper level disturbance over New Mexico
moved out across the south plains of
Texas. Although numerous severe
thunderstorms occurred, there were
two long lasting supercell
thunderstorms that moved across
portions of West Central Texas. One
storm developed over Mitchell County.
The storm then split and the south
moving storm moved across northeast
Sterling County, western Coke County,
eastern Tom Green County and into
Menard County. This storm produced
several tornadoes along its path along
with numerous hail reports greater
that golf ball size throughout its
lifetime. Another supercell developed
over Knox County then moved south
across Haskell, Jones and Taylor
counties before dissipating in central
Taylor County. Although no tornadoes
were reported with this storm, a few
funnel clouds were spotted just to the
north of Abilene and near Dyess
Airforce Base. This storm also produced
very large hail greater than golf balls
along its entire path. A bow echo also
moved across Haskell and Throckmorton
Counties producing 60 to 70 mph winds.

was struck three times by severe
thunderstorms. The last severe
thunderstorm produced softball size

A complex of thunderstorms was located
over Central Texas early Sunday morning
as an upper level disturbance was
moving northeast across this area.
Outflow winds from this activity left
a wind shift boundary across South-
Central Texas along the Balcones
Escarpment of the Hill Country around
12Z Sunday morning. This outflow
boundary continued to slowly move
southward into South Texas through the
morning hours.
Another upper level disturbance was
moving east across Northern Mexico and
Southwest Texas during the morning
hours. As this system approached South
Texas, additional thunderstorms formed
along the southward moving boundary.
An extensive area of thunderstorms was
located from Southeast Texas to near
San Antonio by late morning.
The airmass over South Texas became
strongly unstable (CAPE values from
2500-3000 J/kg) during the afternoon
as temperatures rose into the upper
80s over the Coastal Bend to the upper
90s near the Rio Grande. Dewpoint
temperatures were also high across
the area with readings in the lower
70s along the coast to the upper 60s
over the eastern portions of the Rio
Grande Plains.
With the approach of the upper level
disturbance, the shear became stronger
over South Texas. The surface winds
over the Coastal Bend were 25 to 30
mph from the east-southeast during the
latter half of the afternoon. (0-6 km
shear was 50-55 knots over the Coastal
Bend and 0-1 km Storm Relative
Helicity was 200-250 m2/s2). The
atmospheric environment over South
Texas was favorable for the
development of supercells.
Scattered severe thunderstorms forming
along the boundary moved into the
Victoria Crossroads region during the
middle afternoon hours between 330 and
530 PM. An intense thunderstorm
developed on the southwest edge of the
complex of thunderstorms over
northern Live Oak County around 345
PM. This thunderstorm quickly became
severe as it organized into a supercell
just east of the community of Three
Rivers. NWS Doppler radar in Corpus
Christi showed the development of a
hook echo with this thunderstorm
around 4 PM. Hail up to the size of
quarters along with a funnel cloud was
reported with this storm as it moved
east from Three Rivers to near Ray
Point in east-central Live Oak County.
The storm weakened by 5 PM as it moved
into central and southern portions of
Bee County.
Another severe thunderstorm quickly
developed over southern Live Oak
County, west of Lake Corpus Christi at
5 PM. The storm produced nickel to
golf ball sized hail from Lagarto to
Mathis between 530 and 600 PM. The NWS
Doppler radar indicated the storm
was developing a hook echo near
Lagarto around 530 PM. This supercell
thunderstorm continued to move to the
east-southeast along the Nueces River
into Nueces County and eventually the
western and southern portions of the
Corpus Christi metropolitan area. The
storm moved into the southern sections
Corpus Christi between 725 and 740 PM,
where numerous hail reports were
received ranging from quarter to golf
ball size with the largest hail around
2 inches in diameter. The severe
thunderstorm continued its trek to the
east-southeast into extreme Northeast
Kleberg County and the coastal waters
offshore from the Padre Island National
Seashore before finally dissipating
around 9 PM.
Another severe thunderstorm developed
to the north of this activity over
Refugio County around 545 PM and
moved southeast toward the coast
around 715 PM.
The intense supercell thunderstorm,
that formed west of Lake Corpus
Christi and eventually moved into
Corpus Christi, had the radar
appearance of a storm capable of
producing a tornado several times
during its life cycle. However,
outflow winds from the thunderstorm
appeared to stay far enough ahead of
the low level circulation to prevent
tornado genesis from occurring. Also,
slightly more stable near-surface
conditions (cooler temperatures)
existed over the Coastal Bend behind
the seabreeze boundary. This factor
may also have precluded tornado
development with this supercell.

The atmosphere across South Texas
became quite unstable on Sunday the
29th. Precipitable water had increased
to around 1.7 inches by Sunday morning
(the 29th), providing ample fuel for
convective development. The upper-
level pattern consisted of a
strong shortwave trough moving across
northern Mexico with several weaker
vorticity maxima embedded in the flow.
There was also a 250 millibar jet
streak approaching from the southwest
with south Texas located somewhat
favorably in the left exit region.
Low-level wind shear was sufficient to
develop and sustain supercells.
At 21Z on the 29th, SPC analysis plots
showed MUCAPE values of around 5000
J/kg over the southern coastal bend.
It was in this area where the first
cells developed. An isolated shower
over southwestern Nueces County
quickly morphed into an HP supercell
and produced very heavy rainfall and
hail to the size of quarters over
southern Nueces and northern Kleberg
Counties. As the sea-breeze propagated
to the west of the storms, the low-
level wind backed more to the
southeast, increasing the low-level
wind shear even further. More storms
began to develop to the north and west
of the initial development as the main
upper-level support began to affect
the area and the sea-breeze moved
farther inland. These storms quickly
became severe and remained more
scattered in nature for the next
several hours, producing hail to the
size of golf balls and very heavy
rainfall in excess of 4 inches.
Later in the evening, several cells
over the Rio Grande Plains merged
together to form a quasi-linear
convective system with began to bow
out as it approached the city of
Alice. The rear-inflow jet was
translated to the surface and winds
of 64 mph were recorded at the Alice
ASOS and wind damage was reported
across the city. This line continued
to move to the east, producing wind
damage from Odem, to Robstown, to
Kingsville before finally affecting
Corpus Christi and moving into the
Gulf of Mexico.

Several power poles were snapped in
half or blown over. The telephone
poles surveyed were blown over in a
variety of patterns, south to north
direction, southwest to northeast
direction, and a west to east
direction. In addition, several
center pivots were either blown over
or twisted and two vehicles were
flipped over in a field from a south
to north direction. The Tornado
produced the most damage shortly
before and after crossing State
Highway 207.
This tornado was the parent or main
tornado involved in what is known as
a multi-vortex tornado. At times,
this tornado was greater than
one-half mile in width. Large
tornadoes sometimes undergo a process
where the flow inside the tornado
becomes disrupted, but does not
dissipate. The result is a turbulent
circulation, or vortex, where smaller
and typically weaker tornadoes develop
and rotate around the parent or much
broader circulation. The following
South Plains tornado was one of these
smaller and weaker tornadoes
associated with this multi-vortex
tornado.
Floyd County
South Plains 12 1724CST 0.5 500
1740CST
A multi-vortex tornado associated with
the previous circulation. This tornado
was much weaker in comparison to the
primary and stronger tornadic
circulation mentioned earlier. This
tornado was reported approximately
one-half mile south of FM 689 and 7
miles east of State Highway 207.
Crosby County
9 SW Ralls to 12 1940CST 6 500
3 SW Ralls 1955CST
A strong tornado developed
approximately 9 miles to the
southwest of Ralls around 8:40 PM and
tracked to the northeast for six
miles. Along the path of this tornado,
several power poles were blown over or
snapped and a few center pivots were
overturned or twisted. A residence
was completely destroyed with debris
entirely removed from the foundation.
The majority of the debris from this
structure was blown to the northeast
approximately 10 to 30 feet from the
foundation ... with other related
debris dispersed over a mile away.
Two pickup trucks were lifted and
deposited upside down 5 to 30 feet
from former locations. Trees were
mud-splattered and stripped of bark
with large branches completely torn
off trunks. Center pivot irrigation
systems were either blown over or
twisted in surrounding fields tornado.
Additional debris ... however some
were left unscathed to the northeast
of this associated with this tornado
was also deposited in a field across
from US Highway 62/82 before
dissipating.
Crosby County
1.5 W Ralls to 12 1955CST 4.5 5000
3 N Ralls 2010CST
In assessing the damage from the F3
tornado, the debris field diminished
in a real coverage as the tornado
tracked farther to the northeast
along the end of its path. Damage
assessment and public accounts of the
storm suggested the tornado weakened
and lifted. Meanwhile, a second
tornado developed. This occurrence
coincided with a break in the debris
field observed during the Survey.
This cycle of one tornado weakening
and lifting while another tornado
forms to the right of the former path
is typical in well-organized tornadic
thunderstorms. This second tornado
developed approximately 1.5 miles west
of Ralls and tracked to the north and
northwest before dissipating three
miles north of Ralls. The tornado
damaged a residence and a nearby
barn. Two thousand pound bales of
hay were tossed from one side of US
Highway 62/82 to the other as the
tornado scattered debris to the
south and southwest across an adjacent
field. In addition, a vehicle was
overturned on the property within
debris from the residence and power
poles were either blown down or
snapped and center pivots overturned.

The Mothers day severe thunderstorm
episode was quite interesting. Early
in the day a thunderstorm complex from
the night before was just exiting the
San Angelo forecast area, and we were
trying to determine if the atmosphere
would recover in time for another
severe weather episode that afternoon.
Shortly before noon another upper air
disturbance moving out of New Mexico
set the stage for moisture to move
back into the area around the ongoing
thunderstorm complex over central
Texas. By around 1 PM. Thunderstorms
began to develop on the radar and
quickly went severe. While there were
several severe thunderstorms that day
across much of the area, two supercell
thunderstorms were noted. One supercell
thunderstorm developed in western
Taylor County and moved across much of
southern Taylor county. While this
storm prompted a couple of tornado
warnings, no tornadoes were reported.
This storm did produce very large hail
from Ovalo to Tuscola.
Another supercell thunderstorm
developed over northern Concho County
near Paint Rock. As this thunderstorm
developed, it remained nearly
stationary over the community of Paint
Rock producing large hail for over a
half hour. This storm then gradually
moved to the southeast across eastern
Concho County and western McCulloch
County. The storm weakened a short time
over western McCulloch county. However,
another thunderstorm moved into this
storm from the southwest and the
supercell thunderstorm ingested the
smaller thunderstorm and became a big
monster storm once again over southern
McCulloch and Mason Counties. During
this phase of the thunderstorm, tornado
warnings were issued. Once again no
tornadoes were reported. The storm did
produce very large hail, with the
largest hail noted just to the east of
Mason. The hail was softball size.

A severe weather episode broke out
across much of west central Texas on
the evening of the 31st when a strong
upper level disturbance over New Mexico
moved out across the south plains of
Texas. Although numerous severe
thunderstorms occurred, there were
two long lasting supercell
thunderstorms that moved across
portions of West Central Texas. One
storm developed over Mitchell County.
The storm then split and the south
moving storm moved across northeast
Sterling County, western Coke County,
eastern Tom Green County and into
Menard County. This storm produced
several tornadoes along its path along
with numerous hail reports greater
that golf ball size throughout its
lifetime. Another supercell developed
over Knox County then moved south
across Haskell, Jones and Taylor
counties before dissipating in central
Taylor County. Although no tornadoes
were reported with this storm, a few
funnel clouds were spotted just to the
north of Abilene and near Dyess
Airforce Base. This storm also produced
very large hail greater than golf balls
along its entire path. A bow echo also
moved across Haskell and Throckmorton
Counties producing 60 to 70 mph winds.
Also of note, the town of Robert Lee
was struck three times by severe
thunderstorms. The last severe
thunderstorm produced softball size
hail and winds to 87 mph. This severe
weather episode also carried over into
the first of June across the Northwest
Hill Country.

A complex of thunderstorms was located
over Central Texas early Sunday morning
as an upper level disturbance was
moving northeast across this area.
Outflow winds from this activity left
a wind shift boundary across South-
Central Texas along the Balcones
Escarpment of the Hill Country around
12Z Sunday morning. This outflow
boundary continued to slowly move
southward into South Texas through the
morning hours.
Another upper level disturbance was
moving east across Northern Mexico and
Southwest Texas during the morning
hours. As this system approached South
Texas, additional thunderstorms formed
along the southward moving boundary.
An extensive area of thunderstorms was
located from Southeast Texas to near
San Antonio by late morning.
The airmass over South Texas became
strongly unstable (CAPE values from
2500-3000 J/kg) during the afternoon
as temperatures rose into the upper
80s over the Coastal Bend to the upper
90s near the Rio Grande. Dewpoint
temperatures were also high across
the area with readings in the lower
70s along the coast to the upper 60s
over the eastern portions of the Rio
Grande Plains.
With the approach of the upper level
disturbance, the shear became stronger
over South Texas. The surface winds
over the Coastal Bend were 25 to 30
mph from the east-southeast during the
latter half of the afternoon. (0-6 km
shear was 50-55 knots over the Coastal
Bend and 0-1 km Storm Relative
Helicity was 200-250 m2/s2). The
atmospheric environment over South
Texas was favorable for the
development of supercells.
Scattered severe thunderstorms forming
along the boundary moved into the
Victoria Crossroads region during the
middle afternoon hours between 330 and
530 PM. An intense thunderstorm
developed on the southwest edge of the
complex of thunderstorms over
northern Live Oak County around 345
PM. This thunderstorm quickly became
severe as it organized into a supercell
just east of the community of Three
Rivers. NWS Doppler radar in Corpus
Christi showed the development of a
hook echo with this thunderstorm
around 4 PM. Hail up to the size of
quarters along with a funnel cloud was
reported with this storm as it moved
east from Three Rivers to near Ray
Point in east-central Live Oak County.
The storm weakened by 5 PM as it moved
into central and southern portions of
Bee County.
Another severe thunderstorm quickly
developed over southern Live Oak
County, west of Lake Corpus Christi at
5 PM. The storm produced nickel to
golf ball sized hail from Lagarto to
Mathis between 530 and 600 PM. The NWS
Doppler radar indicated the storm
was developing a hook echo near
Lagarto around 530 PM. This supercell
thunderstorm continued to move to the
east-southeast along the Nueces River
into Nueces County and eventually the
western and southern portions of the
Corpus Christi metropolitan area. The
storm moved into the southern sections
Corpus Christi between 725 and 740 PM,
where numerous hail reports were
received ranging from quarter to golf
ball size with the largest hail around
2 inches in diameter. The severe
thunderstorm continued its trek to the
east-southeast into extreme Northeast
Kleberg County and the coastal waters
offshore from the Padre Island National
Seashore before finally dissipating
around 9 PM.
Another severe thunderstorm developed
to the north of this activity over
Refugio County around 545 PM and
moved southeast toward the coast
around 715 PM.
The intense supercell thunderstorm,
that formed west of Lake Corpus
Christi and eventually moved into
Corpus Christi, had the radar
appearance of a storm capable of
producing a tornado several times
during its life cycle. However,
outflow winds from the thunderstorm
appeared to stay far enough ahead of
the low level circulation to prevent
tornado genesis from occurring. Also,
slightly more stable near-surface
conditions (cooler temperatures)
existed over the Coastal Bend behind
the seabreeze boundary. This factor
may also have precluded tornado
development with this supercell.

The atmosphere across South Texas
became quite unstable on Sunday the
29th. Precipitable water had increased
to around 1.7 inches by Sunday morning
(the 29th), providing ample fuel for
convective development. The upper-
level pattern consisted of a
strong shortwave trough moving across
northern Mexico with several weaker
vorticity maxima embedded in the flow.
There was also a 250 millibar jet
streak approaching from the southwest
with south Texas located somewhat
favorably in the left exit region.
Low-level wind shear was sufficient to
develop and sustain supercells.
At 21Z on the 29th, SPC analysis plots
showed MUCAPE values of around 5000
J/kg over the southern coastal bend.
It was in this area where the first
cells developed. An isolated shower
over southwestern Nueces County
quickly morphed into an HP supercell
and produced very heavy rainfall and
hail to the size of quarters over
southern Nueces and northern Kleberg
Counties. As the sea-breeze propagated
to the west of the storms, the low-
level wind backed more to the
southeast, increasing the low-level
wind shear even further. More storms
began to develop to the north and west
of the initial development as the main
upper-level support began to affect
the area and the sea-breeze moved
farther inland. These storms quickly
became severe and remained more
scattered in nature for the next
several hours, producing hail to the
size of golf balls and very heavy
rainfall in excess of 4 inches.
Later in the evening, several cells
over the Rio Grande Plains merged
together to form a quasi-linear
convective system with began to bow
out as it approached the city of
Alice. The rear-inflow jet was
translated to the surface and winds
of 64 mph were recorded at the Alice
ASOS and wind damage was reported
across the city. This line continued
to move to the east, producing wind
damage from Odem, to Robstown, to
Kingsville before finally affecting
Corpus Christi and moving into the
Gulf of Mexico.

Several power poles were snapped in
half or blown over. The telephone
poles surveyed were blown over in a
variety of patterns, south to north
direction, southwest to northeast
direction, and a west to east
direction. In addition, several
center pivots were either blown over
or twisted and two vehicles were
flipped over in a field from a south
to north direction. The Tornado
produced the most damage shortly
before and after crossing State
Highway 207.
This tornado was the parent or main
tornado involved in what is known as
a multi-vortex tornado. At times,
this tornado was greater than
one-half mile in width. Large
tornadoes sometimes undergo a process
where the flow inside the tornado
becomes disrupted, but does not
dissipate. The result is a turbulent
circulation, or vortex, where smaller
and typically weaker tornadoes develop
and rotate around the parent or much
broader circulation. The following
South Plains tornado was one of these
smaller and weaker tornadoes
associated with this multi-vortex
tornado.
Floyd County
South Plains 0 0
A multi-vortex tornado associated with
the previous circulation. This tornado
was much weaker in comparison to the

miles east of State Highway 207.
Crosby County
9 SW Ralls to
3 SW Ralls 0 0
A strong tornado developed
approximately 9 miles to the
southwest of Ralls around 8:40 PM and
tracked to the northeast for six
miles. Along the path of this tornado,
several power poles were blown over or
snapped and a few center pivots were
overturned or twisted. A residence
was completely destroyed with debris
entirely removed from the foundation.
The majority of the debris from this
structure was blown to the northeast
approximately 10 to 30 feet from the
foundation ... with other related
debris dispersed over a mile away.
Two pickup trucks were lifted and
deposited upside down 5 to 30 feet
from former locations. Trees were
mud-splattered and stripped of bark
with large branches completely torn
off trunks. Center pivot irrigation
systems were either blown over or
twisted in surrounding fields tornado.
Additional debris ... however some
were left unscathed to the northeast
of this associated with this tornado
was also deposited in a field across
from US Highway 62/82 before
dissipating.
Crosby County
1.5 W Ralls to
3 N Ralls 0 0
In assessing the damage from the F3
tornado, the debris field diminished
in a real coverage as the tornado
tracked farther to the northeast
along the end of its path. Damage
assessment and public accounts of the
storm suggested the tornado weakened
and lifted. Meanwhile, a second
tornado developed. This occurrence
coincided with a break in the debris
field observed during the Survey.
This cycle of one tornado weakening
and lifting while another tornado
forms to the right of the former path
is typical in well-organized tornadic
thunderstorms. This second tornado
developed approximately 1.5 miles west
of Ralls and tracked to the north and
northwest before dissipating three
miles north of Ralls. The tornado
damaged a residence and a nearby
barn. Two thousand pound bales of
hay were tossed from one side of US
Highway 62/82 to the other as the
tornado scattered debris to the
south and southwest across an adjacent
field. In addition, a vehicle was
overturned on the property within
debris from the residence and power
poles were either blown down or
snapped and center pivots overturned.

An outbreak of severe thunderstorms
occurred across portions of the Texas
panhandle and the south plains of west
Texas on Thursday May 12, 2005. The
weather pattern on this day was
highly conducive for severe
thunderstorm and tornado development.
A southward moving cold front early
in the day became nearly stationary
by afternoon as a strong flow of
moisture overspread the area from the
southeast. Numerous waves of severe
thunderstorms developed throughout
the afternoon on Thursday and
continued well into the after midnight
hours on Friday. During this long
duration event, between the hours of
4:30 PM and 10:00 PM, several
tornadoes occurred across the area.

During the afternoon of the 23rd, a
rare dry lightning outbreak occurred
over the Davis and Glass Mountains of
west Texas. A total of six wildfires
were sparked by the lightning between
16:00 and 18:00 CST across Brewster,
Jeff Davis, and Pecos Counties.
Gusty winds generated by the dry
thunderstorms combined with triple
digit temperatures and very low
relative humidities to promote rapid
fire growth. Fire fighting efforts
were initially concentrated on a small
fire that threatened the Davis
Mountain Resort subdivision eleven
miles north-northwest of Fort Davis.
This fire was quickly subdued before
any structural damage was sustained.
Two of the blazes, however, became
large and burned out of control for
more than forty-eight hours.
The Davis Mountain Complex Wildfire
burned more than 3,000 acres near the
Buffalo Trail Council Boy Scout Camp
ten miles north of Fort Davis. This
fire burned brush in mainly
inaccessible areas cast of the
McDonald Observatory. The fire
hampered operations at the
observatory and several scouting and
church camps in the area, but all
facilities remained open. The blaze
was extinguished on the 26th
following the arrival of a cold front
and associated cooler temperatures and
higher relative humidity.
The largest fire burned more than
3,500 acres between Alpine and
Marathon in northern Brewster County.

The Mothers day severe thunderstorm
episode was quite interesting. Early
in the day a thunderstorm complex from
the night before was just exiting the
San Angelo forecast area, and we were
trying to determine if the atmosphere
would recover in time for another
severe weather episode that afternoon.
Shortly before noon another upper air
disturbance moving out of New Mexico
set the stage for moisture to move
back into the area around the ongoing
thunderstorm complex over central
Texas. By around 1 PM. Thunderstorms
began to develop on the radar and
quickly went severe. While there were
several severe thunderstorms that day
across much of the area, two supercell
thunderstorms were noted. One supercell
thunderstorm developed in western
Taylor County and moved across much of
southern Taylor county. While this
storm prompted a couple of tornado
warnings, no tornadoes were reported.
This storm did produce very large hail
from Ovalo to Tuscola.
Another supercell thunderstorm
developed over northern Concho County
near Paint Rock. As this thunderstorm
developed, it remained nearly
stationary over the community of Paint
Rock producing large hail for over a
half hour. This storm then gradually
moved to the southeast across eastern
Concho County and western McCulloch
County. The storm weakened a short time
over western McCulloch county. However,
another thunderstorm moved into this
storm from the southwest and the
supercell thunderstorm ingested the
smaller thunderstorm and became a big
monster storm once again over southern
McCulloch and Mason Counties. During
this phase of the thunderstorm, tornado
warnings were issued. Once again no
tornadoes were reported. The storm did
produce very large hail, with the
largest hail noted just to the east of
Mason. The hail was softball size.

A severe weather episode broke out
across much of west central Texas on
the evening of the 31st when a strong
upper level disturbance over New Mexico
moved out across the south plains of
Texas. Although numerous severe
thunderstorms occurred, there were
two long lasting supercell
thunderstorms that moved across
portions of West Central Texas. One
storm developed over Mitchell County.
The storm then split and the south
moving storm moved across northeast
Sterling County, western Coke County,
eastern Tom Green County and into
Menard County. This storm produced
several tornadoes along its path along
with numerous hail reports greater
that golf ball size throughout its
lifetime. Another supercell developed
over Knox County then moved south
across Haskell, Jones and Taylor
counties before dissipating in central
Taylor County. Although no tornadoes
were reported with this storm, a few
funnel clouds were spotted just to the
north of Abilene and near Dyess
Airforce Base. This storm also produced
very large hail greater than golf balls
along its entire path. A bow echo also
moved across Haskell and Throckmorton
Counties producing 60 to 70 mph winds.
Also of note, the town of Robert Lee
was struck three times by severe
thunderstorms. The last severe
thunderstorm produced softball size
hail and winds to 87 mph. This severe
weather episode also carried over into
the first of June across the Northwest
Hill Country.

A complex of thunderstorms was located
over Central Texas early Sunday morning
as an upper level disturbance was
moving northeast across this area.
Outflow winds from this activity left
a wind shift boundary across South-
Central Texas along the Balcones
Escarpment of the Hill Country around
12Z Sunday morning. This outflow
boundary continued to slowly move
southward into South Texas through the
morning hours.
Another upper level disturbance was
moving east across Northern Mexico and
Southwest Texas during the morning
hours. As this system approached South
Texas, additional thunderstorms formed
along the southward moving boundary.
An extensive area of thunderstorms was
located from Southeast Texas to near
San Antonio by late morning.
The airmass over South Texas became
strongly unstable (CAPE values from
2500-3000 J/kg) during the afternoon
as temperatures rose into the upper
80s over the Coastal Bend to the upper
90s near the Rio Grande. Dewpoint
temperatures were also high across
the area with readings in the lower
70s along the coast to the upper 60s
over the eastern portions of the Rio
Grande Plains.
With the approach of the upper level
disturbance, the shear became stronger
over South Texas. The surface winds
over the Coastal Bend were 25 to 30
mph from the east-southeast during the
latter half of the afternoon. (0-6 km
shear was 50-55 knots over the Coastal
Bend and 0-1 km Storm Relative
Helicity was 200-250 m2/s2). The
atmospheric environment over South
Texas was favorable for the
development of supercells.
Scattered severe thunderstorms forming
along the boundary moved into the
Victoria Crossroads region during the
middle afternoon hours between 330 and
530 PM. An intense thunderstorm
developed on the southwest edge of the
complex of thunderstorms over
northern Live Oak County around 345
PM. This thunderstorm quickly became
severe as it organized into a supercell
just east of the community of Three
Rivers. NWS Doppler radar in Corpus
Christi showed the development of a
hook echo with this thunderstorm
around 4 PM. Hail up to the size of
quarters along with a funnel cloud was
reported with this storm as it moved
east from Three Rivers to near Ray
Point in east-central Live Oak County.
The storm weakened by 5 PM as it moved
into central and southern portions of
Bee County.
Another severe thunderstorm quickly
developed over southern Live Oak
County, west of Lake Corpus Christi at
5 PM. The storm produced nickel to
golf ball sized hail from Lagarto to
Mathis between 530 and 600 PM. The NWS
Doppler radar indicated the storm
was developing a hook echo near
Lagarto around 530 PM. This supercell
thunderstorm continued to move to the
east-southeast along the Nueces River
into Nueces County and eventually the
western and southern portions of the
Corpus Christi metropolitan area. The
storm moved into the southern sections
Corpus Christi between 725 and 740 PM,
where numerous hail reports were
received ranging from quarter to golf
ball size with the largest hail around
2 inches in diameter. The severe
thunderstorm continued its trek to the
east-southeast into extreme Northeast
Kleberg County and the coastal waters
offshore from the Padre Island National
Seashore before finally dissipating
around 9 PM.
Another severe thunderstorm developed
to the north of this activity over
Refugio County around 545 PM and
moved southeast toward the coast
around 715 PM.
The intense supercell thunderstorm,
that formed west of Lake Corpus
Christi and eventually moved into
Corpus Christi, had the radar
appearance of a storm capable of
producing a tornado several times
during its life cycle. However,
outflow winds from the thunderstorm
appeared to stay far enough ahead of
the low level circulation to prevent
tornado genesis from occurring. Also,
slightly more stable near-surface
conditions (cooler temperatures)
existed over the Coastal Bend behind
the seabreeze boundary. This factor
may also have precluded tornado
development with this supercell.

The atmosphere across South Texas
became quite unstable on Sunday the
29th. Precipitable water had increased
to around 1.7 inches by Sunday morning
(the 29th), providing ample fuel for
convective development. The upper-
level pattern consisted of a
strong shortwave trough moving across
northern Mexico with several weaker
vorticity maxima embedded in the flow.
There was also a 250 millibar jet
streak approaching from the southwest
with south Texas located somewhat
favorably in the left exit region.
Low-level wind shear was sufficient to
develop and sustain supercells.
At 21Z on the 29th, SPC analysis plots
showed MUCAPE values of around 5000
J/kg over the southern coastal bend.
It was in this area where the first
cells developed. An isolated shower
over southwestern Nueces County
quickly morphed into an HP supercell
and produced very heavy rainfall and
hail to the size of quarters over
southern Nueces and northern Kleberg
Counties. As the sea-breeze propagated
to the west of the storms, the low-
level wind backed more to the
southeast, increasing the low-level
wind shear even further. More storms
began to develop to the north and west
of the initial development as the main
upper-level support began to affect
the area and the sea-breeze moved
farther inland. These storms quickly
became severe and remained more
scattered in nature for the next
several hours, producing hail to the
size of golf balls and very heavy
rainfall in excess of 4 inches.
Later in the evening, several cells
over the Rio Grande Plains merged
together to form a quasi-linear
convective system with began to bow
out as it approached the city of
Alice. The rear-inflow jet was
translated to the surface and winds
of 64 mph were recorded at the Alice
ASOS and wind damage was reported
across the city. This line continued
to move to the east, producing wind
damage from Odem, to Robstown, to
Kingsville before finally affecting
Corpus Christi and moving into the
Gulf of Mexico.

South Plains Tornado (F2)
Several power poles were snapped in
half or blown over. The telephone
poles surveyed were blown over in a
variety of patterns, south to north
direction, southwest to northeast
direction, and a west to east
direction. In addition, several
center pivots were either blown over
or twisted and two vehicles were
flipped over in a field from a south
to north direction. The Tornado
produced the most damage shortly
before and after crossing State
Highway 207.
This tornado was the parent or main
tornado involved in what is known as
a multi-vortex tornado. At times,
this tornado was greater than
one-half mile in width. Large
tornadoes sometimes undergo a process
where the flow inside the tornado
becomes disrupted, but does not
dissipate. The result is a turbulent
circulation, or vortex, where smaller
and typically weaker tornadoes develop
and rotate around the parent or much
broader circulation. The following
South Plains tornado was one of these
smaller and weaker tornadoes
associated with this multi-vortex
tornado.
Floyd County
South Plains Tornado (F0)
A multi-vortex tornado associated with
the previous circulation. This tornado
was much weaker in comparison to the
primary and stronger tornadic
circulation mentioned earlier. This
tornado was reported approximately
one-half mile south of FM 689 and 7
miles east of State Highway 207.
Crosby County
9 SW Ralls to Tornado (F3)
3 SW Ralls
A strong tornado developed
approximately 9 miles to the
southwest of Ralls around 8:40 PM and
tracked to the northeast for six
miles. Along the path of this tornado,
several power poles were blown over or
snapped and a few center pivots were
overturned or twisted. A residence
was completely destroyed with debris
entirely removed from the foundation.
The majority of the debris from this
structure was blown to the northeast
approximately 10 to 30 feet from the
foundation ... with other related
debris dispersed over a mile away.
Two pickup trucks were lifted and
deposited upside down 5 to 30 feet
from former locations. Trees were
mud-splattered and stripped of bark
with large branches completely torn
off trunks. Center pivot irrigation
systems were either blown over or
twisted in surrounding fields tornado.
Additional debris ... however some
were left unscathed to the northeast
of this associated with this tornado
was also deposited in a field across
from US Highway 62/82 before
dissipating.
Crosby County
1.5 W Ralls to Tornado (F2)
3 N Ralls
In assessing the damage from the F3
tornado, the debris field diminished
in a real coverage as the tornado
tracked farther to the northeast
along the end of its path. Damage
assessment and public accounts of the
storm suggested the tornado weakened
and lifted. Meanwhile, a second
tornado developed. This occurrence
coincided with a break in the debris
field observed during the Survey.
This cycle of one tornado weakening
and lifting while another tornado
forms to the right of the former path
is typical in well-organized tornadic
thunderstorms. This second tornado
developed approximately 1.5 miles west
of Ralls and tracked to the north and
northwest before dissipating three
miles north of Ralls. The tornado
damaged a residence and a nearby
barn. Two thousand pound bales of
hay were tossed from one side of US
Highway 62/82 to the other as the
tornado scattered debris to the
south and southwest across an adjacent
field. In addition, a vehicle was
overturned on the property within
debris from the residence and power
poles were either blown down or
snapped and center pivots overturned.
