Thursday, June 5th, 2025, brought two rounds of high-impact weather to West Texas, one just after midnight over the southern Texas Panhandle and then a more intense round late afternoon into the evening across the western and central South Plains. The early morning hours started with a complex of thunderstorms, storms that originated in northern New Mexico the previous day, tracking across the southern Texas Panhandle. Despite being well past sunset, rich moisture contributed to strong instability that allowed this activity to remain intense well into the overnight hours. |

| LBB WSR-88D radar animation valid from 10:47 pm on Wednesday to 6:14 am on Thursday (4-5 June 2025). | |
| One particularly intense thunderstorm took aim at the south-central Texas Panhandle shortly after midnight. Damaging winds were accompanied by large hail as the storm moved over northern and central Swisher County. Power poles were downed southwest of Happy, which made traffic impassable on FM 1425 about 9 miles southwest of town. | |

| The storm then marched across Tulia with wind-driven golf ball sized hail, knocking out several window and shredded vegetation. The West Texas Mesonet (WTM) located 2 miles east-northeast of town measured a peak wind gust of 81 mph at 12:23 am. Thankfully, the storm weakened as it moved farther east, but additional development along the outflow-aided cold front brought widespread rain to much of the southern Texas Panhandle, northeastern South Plains and Rolling Plains. The late-night storms also provided foreshadowing for what the atmosphere would be capable of later in the day. | |
 |
|
| "RGB-True Color" satellite animation valid from 4:06 pm to 5:36 pm on Thursday (5 June 2025). | |
| The effective cold front stalled in eastern New Mexico and the northern Permian Basin by early Thursday afternoon, before returning northward as a warm front late in the day. Very humid air, by West Texas standards, beneath cold air aloft, contributed to extreme instability by late in the day. Much of the day the instability was "capped" from being released thanks to the relatively cooler air behind the front. However, that quickly changed by late afternoon as explosive storm development occurred in far east-central New Mexico. | |
 |
|
| LBB WSR-88D radar animation valid from 3:26 pm to 9:48 pm on Thursday (5 June 2025). An additional animation, valid from 11:03 pm on Thursday to 6:57 am on Friday (5-6 June) can be VIEWED HERE. | |
| Strong wind shear, as a result of both the change in direction and increase in speed with height, caused the thunderstorms to quickly organize, with one storm becoming dominant if eastern New Mexico. This storm wasted little time, producing a tornado west of Lingo, NM, in open country. | |

| The tornadic thunderstorm moved steadily eastward, crossing the TX/NM line, while continuing to strongly rotate and produce tornadoes. The intense storm gradually tracked east-southeastward, taking the center of circulation over northern Cochran and Hockley Counties, before moving across central and southeastern Lubbock County. | |
 |
|
| Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) 6-hr low-level rotation track (1/sec) ending at 9 pm on Thursday (5 June 2025). | |
| The dominate storm produced a number of tornadoes, in addition to damaging straight-line winds, large hail, and torrential rainfall as it traversed the central South Plains. Wind gusts of 50 to 70+ mph were common with the storm, while a peak gust of 109 mph was measured by the Smyer WTM. | |
 |

| The below image shows the nearly continuous track of storm reports received from the tornadic storm as it impacted the western and central South Plains Thursday evening. This included a number of tornado reports spanning from eastern New Mexico to the western portion of Lubbock County. The tornadoes and wind-driven hail caused significant damage in a number of locations. Even the western and southwestern side of Lubbock was impacted by wind-driven hail that caused significant property and plant damage, though thankfully the storm lost some organization and stopped producing tornadoes west of town. | |

| Where tornadoes did occur west of Lubbock, various degrees of damage were noted by three NWS damage survey teams that were deployed the following day. | |
 |
|
| Tornadoes observed northwest of Reese Center, TX, Thursday evening (5 June 2025). The picture is courtesy of Bruce Haynie. | |
| The Reese Center area, and locations to its west and northwest, were particularly hard hit from a combination of tornadic winds and intense straight-line winds associated with the rear flank downdraft that swept across the land south of the tornado. | |
 |
|
| Destroyed manufactured home 4 miles west-northwest of Reese Center. The destruction was caused by a tornado Thursday evening (5 June). The image was collected by a NWS damage survey team the following day. | |
| The above and below images show manufactured homes that were heavily damaged and destroyed by a tornado as it moved across a development about 4 miles northwest of Reese Center. Unfortunately, at least two people were injured when their home rolled, but thankfully no one was killed. | |

Farther west, the thunderstorm produced two larger and longer-lived tornadoes, including one that passed between Whitharral and Levelland, and another that was observed north and northwest of Morton. |
|
 |
 |
| Large wedge tornado observed northwest (left) and north (right) of Morton, TX, Thursday evening (5 June 2025). The pictures are courtesy of Bruce Haynie. | |
| Both of the larger wedge-type tornadoes were well-documented by storm chasers, as well as atmospheric science teams that were collecting data. Thankfully, these tornadoes remained over rural lands, with most of the damage observed confined to power poles and center pivots. | |
 |
 |
| Downed power poles north of Levelland (left) and Morton (right). The damage was caused by tornadoes Thursday evening (5 June). The images were collected by a NWS damage survey team the following day. | |
| The above pictures illustrate the type of damage that was found where the two wedge tornadoes tracked across portions of rural Cochran and Hockley Counties. | |
 |
|
| Downed trees at Reese Center. The damage was caused by a tornado Thursday evening (5 June). The image was collected by a NWS damage survey team the following day. | |

 |
|
| Roof damage sustained near 18th Street and Rochester Avenue about 3 miles east of Reese Center. The damage was caused by extreme straight-line winds associated with a tornadic thunderstorm Thursday evening (5 June). The image was collected by a NWS damage survey team the following day. | |
| In addition to the tornadoes and severe straight-line winds, a swath of large hail accompanied the storm. Numerous reports of golf ball to baseball size hail were received through the lifetime of the tornadic storm, with several reports of giant hail. This included a few reports of 3 inch diameter hail west of Enochs and southwest of Pep as well as a stone as large as 5 inches in diameter (larger than softballs!) 7 miles south of Anton. | |
 |
|
| Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) 6-hr maximum estimated hail size (mm) ending at 9 pm on Thursday (5 June 2025). | |
| Not to be forgotten, torrential rain fell from the intense thunderstorm. Excessive runoff caused flooding, including in parts of Lubbock where 1 to 2+ inches of rain fell in a short amount of time. | |

Public Information Statement National Weather Service Lubbock TX 106 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025 ...NWS Damage Survey for 06/05/2025 Tornado Event... .Overview... During the afternoon and evening hours of Thursday, June 5, 2025, an intense supercell thunderstorm moved over the South Plains region of West Texas, producing several tornadoes over portions of Cochran, Hockley, and Lubbock Counties. This thunderstorm also produced widespread damage from very strong straight-line winds and large hail across western and southwestern portions of the City of Lubbock before it exited into Crosby and Garza Counties and weakened late in the evening. NWS Lubbock deployed three separate teams to survey the damage from this thunderstorm, with the combined results of these surveys documented in detail below. This supercell initially produced a brief tornado over far northwestern Cochran County that moved over open country and produced no known damage. Shortly thereafter, the supercell produced a strong wedge- type tornado several miles northwest of Morton, which destroyed multiple large wooden power poles as it tracked eastward, eventually crossing TX-214 about 4 miles north of Morton before dissipating over northeastern Cochran County. The supercell then produced another strong tornado over far northwestern Hockley County, about 5 miles northwest of the community of Pettit, which was directly observed by mobile research radar. A separate and very brief cone-type tornado was then observed only about 2 miles north of Pettit. The supercell then began to track more southeastward, with no tornadoes observed for a period of approximately 15 minutes. Just as the supercell approached US-385 in north-central Hockley County, it produced another strong tornado which crossed US-385 about 3 miles south of the community of Whitharral. This tornado destroyed several additional wooden power poles, rolled a semi-truck traveling on the highway, and damaged buildings and trees along its path before it dissipated about 7 miles east of US-385. The final three tornadoes produced by this supercell were observed as the storm crossed from eastern Hockley County into western Lubbock County. The first tornado developed approximately 3 miles northeast of TX-114 and the community of Smyer, damaging or destroying multiple manufactured homes as it moved eastward before it dissipated along the Hockley/Lubbock County line. The second tornado developed very close to the termination of the previous tornado, and damaged or destroyed several homes and buildings as it tracked southeastward and dissipated only about a quarter mile north of TX-114. The final tornado produced during this event developed and tracked over southern portions of Reese Center, toppling large trees and damaging roofs before dissipating just outside the Lubbock city limits. Although the storm did not produce any additional tornadoes after this point, the supercell did continue to produce very strong straight-line winds and large hail, which resulted in widespread damage to homes and businesses across western and southwestern portions of the City of Lubbock. Many buildings within the city experienced significant damage to roofs and windows, and hail up to the size of tennis balls was observed within the city limits. The supercell continued to produce large hail and severe wind gusts as it moved over the community of Slaton in southeastern Lubbock County, with the storm finally weakening over Crosby and Garza Counties with no additional severe weather reports received after it moved to the east of the Caprock Escarpment. .Northwest Cochran County Tornado... Rating: EF-Unknown Estimated Peak Wind: Unknown Path Length /statute/: 2.54 miles Path Width /maximum/: Unknown Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 05:10 PM CDT Start Location: 4 E Lingo / Cochran County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.8048 / -103.0395 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 05:15 PM CDT End Location: 6 WSW Maple / Cochran County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.8108 / -102.9961 Survey Summary: At least one brief tornado was observed by storm spotters along this track. .Northern Cochran County Tornado... Rating: EF-2 Estimated Peak Wind: 125 mph Path Length /statute/: 10 miles Path Width /maximum/: 1725 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 05:30 PM CDT Start Location: 4 S Maple / Cochran County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.7961 / -102.8805 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 05:50 PM CDT End Location: 4 NE Morton / Cochran County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.7783 / -102.709 Survey Summary: The tornado developed northwest of Morton and quickly gained strength as evidenced by multiple spotter reports of a large, wedge-shaped tornado as it crossed Highway 214. The middle EF-2 rating is consistent with the documented damage and a peak rotational velocity of about 60 kts measured by the KLBB WSR-88D. .Northwest Hockley County Tornado... Rating: EF-Unknown Estimated Peak Wind: Unknown Path Length /statute/: 4.93 miles Path Width /maximum/: Unknown Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 05:55 PM CDT Start Location: 5 SW Pep / Cochran County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.7505 / -102.6162 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 06:07 PM CDT End Location: 6 S Pep / Hockley County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.7321 / -102.5408 Survey Summary: No damage was observed or reported with this tornado. However, a peak wind speed up to around 120 mph (EF-2) is possible with this tornado based on KLBB WSR-88D peak rotational velocity of 45 kts, and NSSL RaXPol rotational velocity of 80 kts. Chasers reported a wedge tornado obscured by blowing dust. .Pettit Tornado... Rating: EF-Unknown Estimated Peak Wind: Unknown Path Length /statute/: 0.90 miles Path Width /maximum/: Unknown Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 06:13 PM CDT Start Location: 7 SSE Pep / Hockley County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.72 / -102.5262 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 06:15 PM CDT End Location: 7 SSE Pep / Hockley County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.7155 / -102.5116 Survey Summary: Brief tornado observed by broadcast media. No damage observed or reported. .Whitharral Tornado... Rating: EF-2 Estimated Peak Wind: 125 mph Path Length /statute/: 9.34 miles Path Width /maximum/: 1936 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 06:27 PM CDT Start Location: 4 WSW Whitharral / Hockley County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.7066 / -102.3882 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 06:54 PM CDT End Location: 6 ESE Whitharral / Hockley County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.6984 / -102.229 Survey Summary: Complex radar presentation with several surges of the rear-flank downdraft and circulations partially obscured by rain, hail and dirt. The estimated width of 1936/1.1 miles may represent a tornado making a rotation around the parent mesocyclone. The EF-2 rating is based on damage survey findings of snapped power poles southwest of Whitharral and supported by a circulation from the KLBB WSR-88D of 72 kt rotational velocity with a width of 0.62 nmi. .First Smyer Tornado... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.72 miles Path Width /maximum/: 880 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 2 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 07:12 PM CDT Start Location: 3 NNE Smyer / Hockley County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.6324 / -102.1472 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 07:24 PM CDT End Location: 4 NW Reese Center / Hockley County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.6288 / -102.0847 Survey Summary: The supercell`s low-level circulation quickly tightened up again north of Smyer. A short-lived, but strong tornado developed and moved through a community of manufactured homes, two of which were rolled off their foundations and heavily damaged, causing two injuries. During this time, spotters and chasers reported a smaller second vortex just to the north, possibly a satellite tornado. .Second Smyer Tornado... Rating: EF-2 Estimated Peak Wind: 130 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.35 miles Path Width /maximum/: 968 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 07:19 PM CDT Start Location: 4 ENE Smyer / Hockley County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.6205 / -102.0994 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 07:42 PM CDT End Location: 2 W Reese Center / Lubbock County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.5867 / -102.0647 Survey Summary: Immediately following the first tornado to the north, a new tornado formed and moved southeast across far eastern Hockley County just north of Highway 114. The damage survey found a manufactured home that had been rolled off its foundation and completely destroyed, resulting in an EF-2 rating. Additional damage to structures was found as far south as the intersection of Highway 114 and FM 2378. .Reese Center Tornado... Rating: EF-1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 2.65 miles Path Width /maximum/: 792 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 07:43 PM CDT Start Location: 2 WNW Reese Center / Lubbock County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.6018 / -102.0568 End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 07:54 PM CDT End Location: 1 SE Reese Center / Lubbock County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.5838 / -102.0176 Survey Summary: The final tornado developed just west-northwest of Reese Center and moved southeast before dissipating just west of Inler Ave. The survey team found tree and roof damage consistent with EF-0 to EF-1 damage across Reese Center. .Severe downburst wind and hail damage across West and Southwest Lubbock... Estimated Peak Wind: 115 mph Path Length /statute/: 7 miles Path Width /maximum/: 6 miles Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/05/2025 Start Time: 07:54 PM CDT End Date: 06/05/2025 End Time: 09:00 PM CDT After the final tornado, a swath of thunderstorm outflow winds and hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter swept across western and southwestern Lubbock. The survey team found roof and tree damage across West Lubbock, maximized along and north of Highway 114, consistent with maximum winds gusts up to 115 mph. Broken windows, skylights and additional tree damage was reported as far south as Wolfforth and east into central Lubbock, with the eastern bound of reports around Avenue Q. Maximum wind gusts from West Texas Mesonet stations in the area were 80 mph. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data.
