Wider weather episode
A trough passing over the region, a nearby dryline, and upslope surface flow allowed for the development of scattered thunderstorms across Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Large hail was reported in Brewster County in/near the higher elevation. Some strong winds were also measured that evening. High non-thunderstorm winds were also reported in the Guadalupe Mountains overnight as the trough/Pacific front moved through.
