Survey Summary:
A supercell thunderstorm moved into Bowie County in far Northeast
Texas around 7 PM CDT on Friday May 24, 2024. This supercell
thunderstorm began to rotate shortly thereafter north of the city
of New Boston. Evidence of tree trunks snapped associated with
weak tornadic touchdown were located along Daniels Chapel Road
between County Roads 3108 and 3011 around 7:05 PM CDT. The weak
tornado then continued southeast crossing Daniels Chapel Road
again near the intersections of County Road 3107 and FM 3378 where
more snapped tree trunks were found. The weak tornado then
traveled very closely along Daniels Chapel Road as it continued
southeast with several more tree trunks snapped, several trees
uprooted, and numerous large tree branches downed. The tornado
then lifted around the intersection of Daniels Chapel Road and
County Road 3010 around 7:09 PM CDT, with the storm continuing as
a severe thunderstorm as it began to move east towards Highway 8
and eventually towards the town of RedBank, Texas. This storm
continued to produce strong winds, with evidence of sporadic wind
damage throughout this general area.
