The wider storm

An upper level low pressure was to the west of the region moving eastward which provided lift over West Texas. There was a nearly stationary cold front/boundary that extended from across the Permian Basin southward to the Trans Pecos and Rio Grande. Wind shear and instability across the area were good. These conditions resulted in large hail developing across the Permian Basin and Trans Pecos. Most of the large hail fell in and near the City of Midland and produced at least 200 million dollars of damage.

Began near Rankin Arpt (31.2252, -101.9348).
