Scattered convection developed over the west Texas South Plains region during the afternoon and evening hours of the 6th. An initial severe storm over northern Lynn County produced large hail that destroyed 2,500 acres of cotton northwest of Tahoka. A few storms evolved into supercells, and produced large hail, damaging thunderstorm winds, and even a pair of tornadoes. The most significant storm damage was in northeastern Castro County, where thunderstorm winds damaged grain bins. In addition, a weak tornado destroyed two barns east-northeast of Nazareth. The parent supercell thunderstorm that resulted in this damage went on to produce a second tornado in rural Swisher County. Large hail additionally destroyed 2,500 acres of cotton in Lynn County.
