Hail in Dickens County, Texas

Local broadcast media relayed a report of hail up to two inches in diameter in Dickens. No damage was reported.

A third consecutive day of severe storms impacted the region on the afternoon and evening of the third. An approaching upper level jet streak aided in the development of thunderstorms along a dryline draped from north to south over the eastern South Plains. A very moist airmass that had been present the previous couple of days remained in place. Under strong heating in the eastern South Plains, storms were able to take advantage of ample instability in place and quickly became severe. One supercell thunderstorm produced hail up to 3.50 inches in diameter in Quitaque (Briscoe County). A supercell thunderstorm north of Cotton Center (Hale County) produced a brief tornado before dissipating.
