Hail in Hockley County, Texas

A trained weather spotter in Levelland reported hail ranging from pea size to as large as quarter size.

Thunderstorms again developed late in the afternoon of the 23rd in two separate locations. Isolated thunderstorms initially developed across the western South Plains into the Permian Basin which produced large hail. Numerous outflow boundaries interacted with each other creating new convection and several landspout tornadoes. A second area of thunderstorms moved into the southern Texas Panhandle from eastern New Mexico. Both areas of thunderstorm activity merged into a single complex of thunderstorms producing severe wind gusts as it moved across the Rolling Plains through the late evening hours.
