Severe weather affected parts of West Texas during the late evening of the 4th and the early morning hours of the 5th. Although an isolated severe storm produced large hail in the Big Bend region near Marathon, most of the activity was concentrated across the eastern half of the Permian Basin. Most of the reports received were the result of a large and organized MCS which evolved into a bow echo structure as it propagated across the area. Reports of severe winds were common, although damage was limited to mainly downed trees, power poles and lines. Reports of large hail and flash flooding were also received with this complex of storms.
