Tornadoes Spotted

Tornadoes in North Texas

Near Jacksboro, what appears to be a tornado moved into Jack and Montague Counties. The high winds and heavy rain damaged roofs and downed trees. 

The National Weather Service has plans to assess the areas of damage on Monday and put together their official storm survey from Saturday night.

The initial supercell started a little after 5:30 p.m. and moved into Jack County, eventually spawning a tornado. The same cell lifted to the north and east, impacting Bowie before finally crossing over the Red River.

There were additional supercells heading from San Angelo, moving into parts of Parker County, Stephens County, and lifting towards Wise County. 

The two supercells across parts of Parker County likely produced two tornadoes.

Multiple tornadoes are expected to be confirmed by the National Weather Service.
