Hail — Glasscock, Texas

2022-05-24 · near Garden City, Glasscock, Texas

Wider weather episode

An upper level trough was over New Mexico and far West Texas. A cold front, along with outflow boundaries from storms to the north, moved into Southeast New Mexico and West Texas which further enhanced lift. Wind shear and instability were also high across the area. These conditions resulted in thunderstorms that produced strong winds, large hail, and a tornado across parts of the Permian Basin.
