A strong shortwave trough and a cold front combined to produce a complex of severe thunderstorms across mainly the southern and eastern counties of the Fort Worth CWA. Hail was the main threat with these storms. Most of the hail reports were golf ball sized or smaller, but hail up to the size of softballs was reported in the Belton area in Bell County. The softball sized hail smashed out windows in several homes in a residential subdivision near the high school. There were also a handful of severe wind reports.
