What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm produced a 66 mph wind gust at the Wink ASOS site.

The wider storm

A weak upper ridge was over West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, and upper disturbances were moving overhead. These upper disturbances, along with remnant outflow boundaries from previous thunderstorms, helped to provide lift. Low-level moisture, instability, and wind shear were high across the area. These conditions resulted in a thunderstorm that produced flash flooding in the Western Low Rolling Plains during the early morning hours. Thunderstorms then redeveloped and produced hail and strong winds across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico during the evening hours.

Began near (ink)winkler Co Arpt (31.7807, -103.1946).
