SURVEY SUMMARY: DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS ON JUNE 22ND,
2026, A SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM TRACKED SOUTHEAST OVER THE TOWN OF
FOWLER, COLORADO. AS THIS STORM PUSHED TO THE SOUTHEAST, IT
PRODUCED TWO SEPARATE TORNADOES ON THE SOUTHWESTERN SIDE OF TOWN.
TORNADO #1 WAS A LANDSPOUT TORNADO THAT FORMED ALONG THE FRONT OF
THE STORM. THIS TORNADO DEVELOPED AND REMAINED OVER OPEN LAND AS
IT DRIFTED TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH THE PARENT STORM. TORNADO #2 WAS
LIKELY A "HYBRID" TORNADO, DRIVEN BY BOTH LANDSPOUT AND
SUPERCELLULAR MECHANISMS. THIS TORNADO DEVELOPED TO THE SOUTHWEST
OF THE FOWLER AIRPORT, AND ALSO REMAINED OVER OPEN LAND AS IT
DRIFTED TO THE SOUTHWEST AWAY FROM THE PARENT STORM, LIKELY DURING
AN OCCLUSION/CYCLING PROCESS. SINCE BOTH TORNADOES REMAINED OVER
OPEN COUNTRY, AND CAUSED NO DAMAGE, THEY WILL BOTH BE GIVEN AN EF-
UNKNOWN (EF-U) RATING. RADAR DATA AND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY
STORM SPOTTERS WAS USED TO MAKE A BEST ESTIMATE OF START AND END
TIMES AND LOCATIONS FOR BOTH TORNADOES.

FOLLOWING CATEGORIES:
