Hail in Yoakum County, Texas

An off-duty NWS employee and numerous storm chasers reported a swath of hail from southwest of Denver City to approximately four miles north of Denver City. Hail ranged in sizes from golf balls to 3.50 inches in diameter. No damage was reported.

Severe thunderstorms developed once again on the afternoon of the 30th in a multi-day severe weather outbreak. Very warm temperatures developed in eastern New Mexico into the western South Plains during the afternoon of the 30th. Thunderstorms initially developed along an outflow boundary left over from a morning mesoscale convective system. Storms quickly became supercellular and severe as they were able to take advantage of the available instability and produced hail up to 3.50 inches in diameter. Light rain showers in the wake of dissipating storms produced high winds in Lamb County.
