EF0 tornado, Ward, Texas, April 4, 2022

Name: EF0 tornado, Ward, Texas, April 4, 2022
Start: 2022-04-05T04:13:00.000Z
End: 2022-04-05T04:15:00.000Z
Location: Ward, Texas

This EF0 tornado ran 1.4 miles across Ellis County on April 4, 2022, touching down at 11:13 PM CDT and reaching 30 yards wide. It killed nobody, and did $50,000 of property damage.

The rating scale

Tracks are drawn in the color of the rating. The Enhanced Fujita scale rates the damage rather than measuring the wind: the speeds are what that damage is taken to imply.

EF065 to 85 mphthis tornado
Light damage. Surface peeled off some roofs, gutters and siding damaged, branches broken, shallow-rooted trees pushed over.
EF186 to 110 mph
Moderate damage. Roofs badly stripped, mobile homes overturned or badly damaged, exterior doors lost, windows broken.
EF2111 to 135 mph
Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well-built houses, frame homes shifted on their foundations, mobile homes destroyed, large trees snapped or uprooted, cars lifted off the ground.
EF3136 to 165 mph
Severe damage. Whole stories of well-built houses destroyed, large buildings badly damaged, trains overturned, trees debarked, heavy cars lifted and thrown.
EF4166 to 200 mph
Devastating damage. Well-built houses leveled, structures with weak foundations moved some distance, cars thrown and large missiles generated.
EF5over 200 mph
Incredible damage. Strong frame houses swept off their foundations, car-sized missiles thrown more than 100 meters, steel-reinforced concrete badly damaged, high-rise buildings deformed.
Unrated
The survey recorded a tornado but could not put a number on it, most often because it crossed open country and damaged nothing a rating can be read from.

The damage survey

1 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS FWD, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The highest wind the damage implies is 85 mph.

Damage and loss of metal roof panels. Wall of bay doors damaged. Straight line winds most likely punched in the large metal doors and then lifted the metal roof off the building on the west side. Tree breakage was also notes along the perimeter of the property, and fence damage on the north side, likely due to parts of the roof hitting the fence.

Survey points are preliminary and are the raw material the published rating was built from. Source: NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit.

What the Weather Service recorded

Thunderstorms developed along a slow moving cold front on the evening of Monday, April 4, aided by the arrival of an upper level disturbance. All modes of severe weather were produced across parts of primarily North Texas. This event generated 6 tornadoes, 4 of which were in Johnson County. The strongest tornado was an EF-2. Additional swaths of damaging downburst winds were documented in Kaufman and Van Zandt counties.

A small tornado occurred along E Wyatt Road near Ward Road. Roof damage to homes and tree damage was observed. Estimated winds were 85 mph.

From NOAA NCEI's Storm Events Database, the narrative the local forecast office wrote for Storm Data.

The warnings

23 minutes of warning. NWS FWD issued a tornado warning for this county at 03:50 UTC, 23 minutes before the tornado touched down, in force until 04:15 UTC.

The county was under a tornado watch, issued at 00:24 UTC and running to 07:00 UTC.

The forecast that day

The Storm Prediction Center had this point in a Enhanced Risk, with a 0.05 chance of a tornado within 25 miles. The outlook in force was issued at 00:59 UTC.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
922 PM CDT Mon Apr 4 2022

...New Short Term, Aviation...

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
/Tonight/

Tonight's severe weather threat remains the primary focus in the
short-term forecast period with the greatest risk for severe
weather located across North Texas through 06Z (1AM CDT Tuesday).

Deep convection initiated in western North Texas this afternoon
within the destabilized buoyant sector that extends through the
region. The evening sounding from Ft Worth shows the mid-level
capping inversion that led to a generally rain-free day across
North and Central Texas has undergone erosion through the
afternoon as the upstream trough over the Southwest U.S. shifts
eastward into the Plains. Surface observations showed the quasi-
stationary front remained stretched across south-central OK into
Northwest TX. The convection that developed along this boundary
will be the primary source of our severe weather threat tonight.

Initially isolated supercells formed into clusters with additional
upscale growth ongoing in a moderately unstable and weakly capped/
uncapped environment. The resulting QLCS, which is sweeping east-
southeast across North Texas, including the DFW Metroplex, is
expected to push east of the region around or just after midnight.
All modes of severe weather, including broad regions of strong to
severe straight-line winds, large hail, and tornadoes, are
possible within the main cluster of convection.

While tonight's severe weather threats are the most pressing
hazards, there is the potential for isolated minor flooding
concerns to develop generally north and northeast of the DFW
Metroplex where periods of heavy rainfall and storm training are
most likely to occur. MLCAPE in excess of 1000 J/kg and 1.5-2.0+"
PWATs will support heavy rain while soils in this area are not
completely dry, receiving 0.5-2.0" of rain in the last 3 days.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 221 PM CDT Mon Apr 4 2022/
/Tuesday Night Onward/

A cold front will be on North & Central Texas's doorstep at the
start of the period, and should bring much breezier conditions
with it. The front should be through most, if not all, of the
forecast area by Wednesday morning and it's passage should be
quite noticeable as wind speeds will increase to 20 - 25 mph with
the potential for gusts up to 45 mph with the front. Compared to
a warm Tuesday, Wednesday will be much milder after the frontal
passage with highs topping off in the upper 60s/low 70s along the
Red River to the mid 70s across portions of Central Texas.

A weaker front arrives late Wednesday/early Thursday, and the
continued cold air advection will promote an even cooler end to
the work week. Morning lows will drop into the upper 30s to mid
40s, ranging between 5 and 15 degrees below normal. While wind
speeds aren't expected to be as high Thursday and Friday, it will
still remain breezy thanks to the strengthening high pressure and
upper level ridging across the western U.S. along with a stout
upper level low dropping southeast over the Great Lakes region.
The aforementioned ridging across the western United States will
shift eastward heading into the weekend as the rain-free
conditions continue. Higher heights building in and the resultant
increased subsidence will mean a warming trend for temperatures,
climbing into the 70s and 80s Saturday and Sunday.

Although rainfall is anticipated for much of the area this evening
and tonight, elevated fire weather conditions will likely return
towards the end of the week and over the weekend. Temperatures will
sit around 5 to 10 degrees below normal Thursday and Friday which
will help limit the fire weather threat somewhat, but the increased
winds and much drier airmass in place will still result in some
fire weather concerns. These specific areas will be largely dependent
on which areas receive better rainfall in the short term. A
widespread fire weather threat is expected over the weekend as
fuels will begin drying out more with warmer temperatures.

.AVIATION... /NEW/
/00Z TAFs/

The main aviation concerns this evening include the potential for
convective impacts through 0600Z at DFW Metroplex airports and
0800Z at Waco and low cigs through Tuesday morning.

Convection that developed along a stalled front across south-
central OK into Northwest TX will move across North Texas tonight,
merging into a large complex as it approaches the the Interstate
35 corridor. The most likely times for storms at the Metroplex TAF
sites will be between 02Z and 04Z. Waco will have the best storm
chances between 06 and 08Z. Storms will exit to the east before
sunrise Tuesday, but MVFR ceilings will linger through at least
mid morning.

A south to southeast wind will continue tonight with a shift to
the west as the line of storms moves through with stronger wind
gusts up to 35 knots possible. Behind the line of storms, winds
should return to the south with speeds in 8-12 knot range through
daybreak.

What this means

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. Tornado counts rise through the record as reporting improved, so a year in the 1950s is not comparable with one today except for the strongest tornadoes, which were always noticed.
