What the National Weather Service wrote

The Mesonet station FW9693 Pyote measured a 66 mph wind gust 10 miles west-northwest of Pyote.

The wider storm

Weak disturbances in the flow aloft caused isolated thunderstorms to develop in the Davis Mountains and Stockton Plateau during the afternoon. These thunderstorms eventually moved off of the higher terrain and tracked over the Trans-Pecos and Permian Basin. Though a couple of the storms produced severe wind gusts that afternoon, activity largely diminished by sunset.

Began near Pyote Wilson Arpt (31.6000, -103.2700).
