A thunderstorm produced a 70 mph wind gust at the Mesonet site near Fluvanna.

The wider storm

An upper level ridge was centered over the Texas Coast with an upper-low pressure system over Northern California. A dryline was across portions of Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. High moisture and instability were present to the east of the dryline. Wind shear was moderate, and an upper level disturbance moved over the area which provided additional lift. These conditions resulted in thunderstorms that produced large hail, strong winds, and flash flooding across portions of West Texas.

Began near Gail (32.8800, -101.1800).
