The wider storm

There was an upper trough to the west of the region, and upper level disturbances associated with this trough moved over West Texas. A dryline was present across the eastern Permian Basin with good moisture to the east of this feature. An area of increased upper level winds also moved over the area heading into the overnight hours which provided more upper lift. These conditions resulted in thunderstorms with large hail developing across the eastern Permian Basin, Western Low Rolling Plains, and Lower Trans Pecos.

Began near Big Lake (31.3945, -101.6976).
