After a rough morning across central and northern Texas, late afternoon heating combined with leftover fuel gave birth to several supercell storms west of Waco, Texas late in the afternoon on Tuesday. One storm near Evant, TX (about 60 miles west of Waco) became the dominate cell of the day, dropping hail upwards of 2-inches in diameter.
