Event narrative

The West Texas Mesonet station 3 NNW Belding measured a 59 mph wind gust.

Wider weather episode

Upslope flow, differential heating, and upper-level vorticity maxima in the weak flow aloft led to the development of scattered thunderstorms in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. These storms generally began in the higher terrain and moved northeast. The low levels were fairly dry, which allowed for a couple of storms to produce severe downburst winds.
