Multiple tornado warnings were issued throughout the day, with a KTEN viewer sharing a photograph of a possible tornado near Calera, Oklahoma.

Some reports of accumulating hail up to waist level to the east of Sherman, Texas in an area of poor drainage. This was most likely caused by a quick flooding event that carried hailstones into a small area.

On the positive side, a healthy amount of rain has fallen across Texoma throughout the day on March 2. This will certainly be helping our drought situation that still remains in some portions of the region.
