Thunderstorm Wind in Armstrong County, Texas

A good bit of moisture worked its way into the combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles on the 9th through the 11th. The upper level pattern favored upper level help for storms to travel into the combined Panhandles from the west and northwest during the late afternoon into overnight hours. The first night on the 9th a couple of strong supercell thunderstorms dropped hail up to 2.5 in diameter in the western Oklahoma Panhandle. More widespread storms managed to drop hail up to 1.5, but these storms also produced several severe wind gusts upwards of 80 plus mph on the night of the 10th across much of the combined Panhandles.
