The wider storm
Scattered thunderstorms developed on the afternoon of the second producing severe wind gusts across the South Plains and extreme southern Texas Panhandle. A strong short wave trough moved across southern Arizona into New Mexico bringing robust large scale ascent to West Texas. Very strong surface heating with temperatures warming into the 90s created a deeply mixed boundary layer. Thunderstorms developed early in the afternoon with a quick erosion of a cap, however, the warm surface temperatures kept cloud bases very high. As a result, numerous severe outflow winds were observed from this thunderstorm activity. Several locations around the South Plains incurred damage from the intense winds.
Began near Abernathy (33.8632, -101.7534).
