Severe Storms Sweep West Central Texas With Two Tornadic Supercells and 26 Reports
On March 28, 2026, the National Weather Service forecast office in San Angelo, Tom Green County, Texas, summarized a severe weather event across West Central Texas that day. A strong upper-level storm system approaching from New Mexico and a dryline from West Texas combined to produce scattered strong to severe thunderstorms across the Big Country during the afternoon and evening, including two tornadic supercells.
One supercell tracked north-northeast across parts of Taylor, Jones and Haskell counties, and the other moved across Fisher County, the Weather Service said. Both produced brief tornado touchdowns in open rural fields, causing only minor damage. Several storms dropped hail from quarter to golf-ball size.
Late in the evening, between 8 p.m. and midnight, a line of strong to severe storms driven by a Pacific cold front moved quickly east across nearly all of West Central Texas, with measured or reported wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph at several locations. The Weather Service received a total of 26 severe weather reports for the event. No casualties were reported in the summary.
