A thunderstorm moved across Terrell County and produced a 71 mph wind gust in Dryden.

The wider storm

A strengthening upper level low pressure system was over Arizona and New Mexico with attached upper disturbances that moved over West Texas. High low-level moisture values were across the area. A cold front was pushing through the region, and there was a dryline across the Lower Trans Pecos and Permian Basin. Daytime heating allowed for the atmosphere to become unstable. These conditions resulted in thunderstorms that produced strong, damaging winds and hail across West Texas.

Began near Dryden (30.0500, -102.1200).
