Strong Wind in Mitchell, Texas

LANDSPOUT. Location: 32.21,-100.78/32.20,-100.77. A storm chaser reported a gustnado via social media near the intersection of Highway 208 and CR 337 southeast of Colorado City. Based on the report, gustnado was persistent for at least 10-15 seconds, potentially longer. The amount of time it lasted and the distance it travelled is estimated, as are the wind gusts associated with it. No damage was observed.

A cold front swept through the region Sunday. Meanwhile, a shortwave neared from the west. These sources of lift allowed for thunderstorms to develop across the Western Low Rolling Plains and the eastern Permian Basin. These thunderstorms produced very large hail, up to the size of baseballs. Meanwhile, as the front swept through the area high winds were recorded at a couple of Mesonet sites in west Texas and southeast New Mexico.
