What the National Weather Service wrote

A severe wind gust occurred from a possible dry microburst. There was little evidence of a strong storm on radar but there was a cloud deck around 9,000 feet. No known damage occurred from this severe wind gust.

The wider storm

On September 14th, a few upper level weather disturbances combined with moisture and daytime heating to develop thunderstorms across the combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Due to a drier air near the surface, these storms that developed were easily able to produce severe wind gusts. A possible dry microburst caused a gust of 64 mph to be measured at the Dalhart ASOS with very weak echoes present on radar due to the unique environment.

Began near (dht)dalhart Muni Ar (36.0200, -102.5500).
