Strong to severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a dryline moving across the region. These storms were hail producers and mainly affected areas primarily along and north of US 380 from Decatur to Sulphur Springs. The worst damage was done in Denton where hail up to the size of softballs caused close to $5 billion in damage. Three tornadoes also occurred with this system; an EF-0 in Collin County, an EF-0 in Hopkins County, and an EF-1 in Hunt County.
