Hail — Jeff Davis, Texas

2015-06-13 · near Ft Davis, Jeff Davis, Texas

Wider weather episode

An upper level disturbance slowly progressed east across the southwest US and it provided upper level support for thunderstorm activity. Good moisture was present east of a dryline that was backed up to the mountains of West Texas. Some locations had low to mid 60 dewpoints. High instability and strong shear allowed for thunderstorms to become organized and produce large hail and damaging winds across the Trans Pecos and Permian Basin. The high moisture over the area also lead to some flash flooding.
