The wider storm

Strong south to southeasterly low-level flow brought an unusually warm, moist airmass to South Central Texas ahead of a Pacific cold front. The front moved into an airmass with temperatures in the middle to upper 70s and dewpoints in the 60s. A few thunderstorms developed ahead of the front and some of these produced large hail and damaging wind gusts.

Began near Luling (29.6400, -97.5800).
