Event narrative

Goodlett (GOOD) Mesonet observation.

Wider weather episode

A high amplitude upper system brought varied impacts across the Southern Plains from the 8-9th. A strong 30-50 knot low-level jet and tight surface pressure gradient developed on the northwestern periphery of a deep (sub-995 mb) low pressure center as it tracked across central Oklahoma during the evening of the 8th. This resulted in a corridor of non-convective high wind reports across western-north Texas.
