Hail — Red River, Texas

2024-03-14 · near Albion, Red River, Texas

Event narrative

Golf ball size hail reported near the Albion community.

Wider weather episode

A very unstable airmass developed across the Middle Red River Valley of Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma during the afternoon and evening hours on March 14th. The flow aloft was from the southwest, and weak disturbances embedded within this flow pattern resulted in the development of scattered to numerous thunderstorms across this general region. Deep layer shear was sufficient enough that supercell thunderstorms developed, and these produced very large hail and damaging wind gusts across portions of the region.
