A thunderstorm produced golf ball sized hail two miles east of Three Leagues. The wind driven hail broke south facing windows on a home. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

The wider storm

An upper level trough was centered over California and Nevada. A dryline was present across West Texas. High moisture and instability were present east of the dryline. High wind shear was also across the area. Upper level disturbances moved over the area which helped to increase atmospheric lift. These conditions resulted in thunderstorms with hail, strong winds, and flash flooding across West Texas.

Began near Three Leagues (32.4800, -101.9357).
