The West Texas Mesonet station at Persimmon Gap recorded numerous severe wind gusts. The strongest gust was 75 mph.

The wider storm

Upslope flow resulted in the development of splitting storms in the Davis Mountains. The right movers tracked into Pecos and Brewster counties, and at least one of these storms produced damaging winds. One of the left-movers tracked towards Midland and then basically followed I-20 all the way to Colorado City. This storm produced damaging winds and large hail, which caused extensive damage in Big Spring. Later that night, a MCS developed and moved into the northern Permian Basin and produced severe straight-line winds.

Began near Alpine Terlingua Arp (29.6600, -103.1800).
