The wider storm
Despite large scale subsidence behind a departing upper level short wave trough and a cooler post frontal airmass, a single isolated severe thunderstorm developed in the extreme southeastern Texas Panhandle. Modest upslope flow in the post frontal air mass allowed a thunderstorm to develop along the edge of the caprock near Palo Duro Canyon State Park. This thunderstorm tracked to the southeast across the Rolling Plains producing several severe wind gusts and hail up to golf ball size.
Began near Paducah (33.9177, -100.4234).
