On the evening of June 26, 2024, a supercell thunderstorm developed near Whitesboro, TX, and tracked southwest-an atypical direction for storms in this region. The National Weather Service issued several warnings for northeastern Denton, northwestern Collin, southeastern Cooke, and southwestern Grayson counties, highlighting the threats of golf ball-sized hail and wind gusts up to 60 mph.
Storm Details:

• Location: North-central Texas (Denton, Collin, Cooke, and Grayson counties)
• Hazards: Golf ball-sized hail, 60 mph wind gusts
• Unusual Movement: Northeast to southwest tracking
