Tropical Storm Pamela was about to make landfall in Mexico during the morning hours. A Pacific front extended from Western Oklahoma to the northwest Permian Basin. Moisture from the tropical storm was flowing from the Gulf of California up across the center of Texas. These conditions resulted in a thunderstorm that produced a strong wind gust in West Texas.
