What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm moved over Midland County and produced wind damage at Midland International Airport. The winds damaged three new airport hangars by blowing off metal roof panels and unhinging hangar doors. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

The wider storm

A surface trough was in place across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico which created instability. An outflow boundary was across the northern Permian Basin in advance of a cold front that was moving southward across West Texas as an upper level disturbance moved over the area. These features helped to create good lift over the area. A dryline was across the Permian Basin and Lower Trans Pecos with good moisture present. Thunderstorms developed along the dryline, outflow boundary, and cold front and produced severe wind gusts and large hail.

Began near (maf) Midland Intl (31.9300, -102.2000).
