Hail in Donley County, Texas

An upper level system coincided with abundant atmospheric moisture across the Texas Panhandle on the evening of the 24th. This resulted in scattered thunderstorms that eventually grew into widespread thunderstorm activity. A few storms became strong to severe thunderstorms that produced heavy rainfall, severe wind gusts, and a localized occurrence of hail up to ping pong ball size. The biggest hazard that occurred during this event was the flash flooding that occurred in the Amarillo and Canyon areas. The widespread thunderstorms produced very heavy rainfall and storms continued to move over the same locations. Flash flooding resulted in stalled cars and flooded and closed roadways. Flooding in Palo Duro Canyon State Park resulted in flooded roads and a few of the campsites had to be evacuated.
