The wider storm

A shortwave trough over the Central Rocky Mountains and an active sub-tropical jet stream aided in the development of numerous supercells over the higher elevations of the Davis Mountains, Glass Mountains, and Big Bend region. A couple of additional thunderstorms develop across portions of the Permian Basin. Several reports of large hail, damaging winds, and a landspout tornado were received.
