The wider storm

An upper level trough had moved into the Central Plains. An upper level disturbance associated with the upper trough moved over West Texas. This helped increase lift over the area. Low-level moisture was also fairly high across the area. These conditions resulted in storms that produced severe wind gusts and flash flooding across parts of West Texas.

Began near Levinson (31.0700, -104.0700).
