The wider storm

An upper level short wave moving overhead combined with a surface pressure trough to enhance isolated thunderstorm development across the central and southern South Plains. Although instability values were not very high, they were able to create robust enough updrafts to generate severe size hail as well as severe downburst winds. Brownfield (Terry County) saw brief torrential rainfall along with hail up to quarter size that covered the ground.

Began near Brownfield (33.1511, -102.2800).
