April 25, 2005 Tornadic Supercells
Event Summary (Courtesy of Greg Patrick -- NWS FWD)
Several supercell storms developed along and ahead of a front and dryline. Deep layer (0-6km) shear was strong (around 50 kts) and the shear vector was nearly perpendicular to dryline. The most significant supercells developed in Tarrant and Johnson Counties and moved east southeast. The Tarrant County storm may have produced brief TOR touchdowns near or just west of Mansfield and near Cedar Hill. The Tarrant supercell storm eventually weakened as it moved across extreme southern Dallas County. The Johnson County supercell eventually produced a brief TOR near Maypearl in Ellis County. Other severe storms affected parts of Grayson, Fannin, Hunt, Delta, and Hopkins Counties through the evening. No injuries or reports of significant structural damage were received.
