This latest severe weather event was thanks to a powerful upper level low pressure system that brought blizzard conditions to the Northern Plains along with several tornadoes in Texoma and the Deep South.

 

A brief EF-0 tornado touched down in Cooke County, remaining on the ground for around 200 yards. Damage was observed to a house in the Walnut Bend area.
