Wider weather episode

The combination of a strong upper level area of low pressure and a cold front resulted in numerous severe thunderstorms across the Big Country during the late afternoon and night time hours. Also, extreme surface instability and strong wind shear helped produce supercell thunderstorms and significant severe weather. The severe storms produced very large hail and intense damaging winds including significant wind damage at the KTXS television studio in Abilene, Texas and a swath of damaging winds from a downburst in Fisher County. The strongest wind speeds ranged from 85 to 100 mph with some of these severe storms.
