| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A mid to upper level closed low was located over southwest Utah the day of the event. Near the surface, a quasi dryline was located from a line near the mountains of west Texas to the eastern NM/TX border. Dewpoints in the low to mid 50 F range resulted in moderate surface based instability east of the dryline during the early evening hours. The upper dynamics combined with the surface convergence along the dryline led to the development of severe weather as the deep layer shear increased with the approach of the aforementioned feature. There was also a brief window for tornadic storms as low level profiles became increasingly backed east of the dryline as height falls increased ahead of the upper trough just west of the region. A tornado watch was issued from 1642-2400 local. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A large funnel cloud was reported by a trained spotter around 2045 CST about 5 miles SSE of Tarzan. It is possible that the funnel was actually a tornado considering the damage to the power poles done upstream. |
