What the National Weather Service wrote

A Texas Tech University West Texas mesonet site near Spur measured a wind gust to 61 mph.

The wider storm

A very hot and unstable atmosphere across the Rolling Plains east of a dryline allowed scattered thunderstorms to develop. At the same time, a convectively reinforced cold front was moving southward through the southern Texas Panhandle. Upper level ridging and a strong cap kept thunderstorms from becoming widespread and did not develop until early in the evening. A well mixed boundary layer within the hot surface temperatures allowed these storms to produce several severe wind gusts.

Began near Spur (33.4800, -100.8674).
