The wider storm

Easterly winds behind a weak cold front allowed plentiful moisture to move into west Texas. This easterly flow resulted in orographic lift along the Davis Mountains, which aided in thunderstorm development in Presidio County during the evening hours.

Began near Shafter (29.8200, -104.3000).
