Two brief, weak tornadoes were reported east of Alpine.

Report of first storm came from a local rancher. Second storm was a heatburst from a collapsing thunderstorm. Reports said that temperature surged from the mid 70s to the lower 90s. Damage to a mobile home park was extensive with two to three mobile homes destroyed and numerous trees and powerlines down. About half of the city's power was knocked out.

Two brief, weak tornadoes were reported east of Alpine.

Afternoon and evening thunderstorms produced flash flooding, severe straight-line winds, hail as large as softballs, and 13 tornados as they moved across western North Texas. The first six tornados were spawned by a single storm as it moved across Hardeman County and into western Wilbarger County. The first five of these six tornados occurred south of Chillicothe in Hardeman County and spotters reported that each tornado was a brief F0 causing no damage. The sixth tornado, located 10 miles west of Vernon in Wilbarger County, was multi-vortex in structure; however, no damage was reported and this tornado was also rated as F0. The seventh and eighth tornados occurred simultaneously at 1900 CST with separate storms five miles northwest of Burkburnett and seven miles east of Electra in Wichita County. No damage was reported and both were rated as F0. The nineth through thirteenth tornados occurred as the storms continued to move eastward across Wichita County. The nineth tornado was spotted nine miles west of Iowa Park. The 10th tornado touched down near the A/C Delco plant south of Burkburnett, slightly damaging roofs in the area. The eleventh tornado was reported east of Burkburnett. The 12th and 13th tornados were spotted six miles west of Burkburnett and just west of Burkburnett respectively. Once again, no significant damage occurred with any of the tornados and all were rated as F0. In addition to the tornados, severe thunderstorm winds reached 85 mph at Shepherd Air Force Base in Wichita County. Softball-size hail was reported eight miles north of Crowell in Foard County, 13 miles south of Quanah in Hardeman County, and 10 miles northwest of Vernon in Wilbarger County. Flash flooding began in Vernon in Wilbarger County at 1900 CST, when Highway 283 north of town was under water and some flooding of streets and homes was reported on the southwest side of Vernon. Later, at 2050 CST, Highway 283 south of town was closed, Highway 70 to Crowell was closed, and one foot of water covered some roads in Vernon.
