Hail in Crane County, Texas
Hail June 1, 2016 · Crane County, Texas
Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
The wider storm
An upper low over the region, outflow boundaries from thunderstorms the previous night, and a weak cold front that was moving slowly south across the area were the causes of thunderstorm activity across parts of West Texas. The strongest instability and wind shear were located in the Big Bend Region where thunderstorms produced large hail. Moisture content across the area was high and thunderstorms produced heavy rainfall, which added to the flash flood threat after a lot of areas had already seen heavy rains from the previous day.
Began near Crane (31.4000, -102.3500).
