A weak upper disturbance moved across the region in advance of a vigorous upper trough which was moving across the southwest United States. Strong instability and moderate to strong low level wind shear provided a favorable environment for super cell thunderstorms to occur in advance of a developing line of thunderstorms which swept across the region during the evening hours. Storms produced large hail up to tennis ball size, wind gusts that were measured as high as 65 mph, and two tornadoes. The most significant damage form this event came from an EF2 tornado which rolled a well anchored double wide trailer onto it's roof in rural Carson County.
