The wider storm

Very hot temperatures on the afternoon of the 26th allowed isolated thunderstorms to form near a weak surface boundary in the extreme southern Texas Panhandle. These very warm temperatures created a dry sub-cloud layer underneath thunderstorms. One thunderstorm produced wind damage to a metal shed northeast of Tulia (Swisher County). A short while later, another storm produced wind damage to a home and sheds northwest of Tulia.

Began near Tulia (34.5734, -101.7700).
