The wider storm
A couple rounds of severe thunderstorms occurred on the evening of the tenth. A stalled out outflow boundary was located from roughly Vigo Park (Swisher County) to Jayton (Kent County). Enhanced upslope flow along the edge of the caprock and strong instabilities generated an isolated severe supercell in Swisher County producing hail up to quarter size. The second round of severe thunderstorms initiated in eastern New Mexico and moved into the South Plains late in the evening hours. A southerly low level jet enhanced moisture advection and elevated instability allowing these storms to persist across the region. Severe thunderstorm winds were reported in Parmer County and Garza County along with wind damage in Hall County.
