In a near repeat of the previous day's severe weather activity, thunderstorms initiated along the higher terrain of West Texas and New Mexico. A thunderstorm near Alpine produced a ten minute duration tornado. More widespread severe weather affected the area during the late evening, and into the early morning hours of the 6th. For the second night in a row, a severe linear MCS took on a bow echo structure as it moved southeast across parts of Dawson and Martin Counties. In addition, a severe thunderstorm developed over the southern parts of Ector County, and resulted in damaging winds from Penwell to Pleasant Farms.

A trained weather spotter measured a 61 MPH severe thunderstorm wind gust with a home weather station near Penwell. These winds were responsible for overturning a tractor trailer on Interstate 20 at mile marker 102. The storm then propagated southeast toward the Pleasant Farms vicinity. Several weakly constructed homes were heavily damaged in Pleasant Farms. Winds associated with the storm were likely higher than indicated across the southeast portions of the county, where most of the damage was concentrated. Due to the light construction of the damaged structures, the sole measured wind gust is referenced here instead of a damage based estimate.
