episode_narrativeA small cluster of strong and slow-moving thunderstorms developed late this afternoon in and around the Muleshoe area and dropped hail up to penny size. By early evening, outflow from these collapsing storms gave rise to a particularly tall and intense storm in northwest Hale County. As this storm collapsed, an outrush of damaging winds spread south and east across much of Hale, southern Floyd and northeast Lubbock counties stirring up loose dirt from area fields. The gust front soon developed into a haboob which created about 10 minutes of dust storm conditions at Lubbock International Airport.||Strong and severe thunderstorms soon consolidated into a large squall line along the length of the gust front. Storm motions along the southwest edge of this line slowed to a crawl over much of the southern South Plains where torrential rains deluged many locations in between Highways 380 and 114 from Levelland and Brownfield east to Dickens and Clairemont. Several locations within this area measured between 1 and 2 inches of rain, with officially 2.80 inches recorded at the Texas Tech West Texas Mesonet station located 1W Spur. Generally minor flooding of roads was common in southern Hockley, northeast Terry, southern Lubbock, and northern Lynn Counties; however Farm-to-Market Road 1585 was observed to be covered in standing water for several miles east of Highway 385 in southeast Hockley County.||As this line of storms began decaying late this night into the pre-dawn hours of the 15th, severe winds developed along the western edge of the precipitation producing multiple gusts over 60 mph in and around Childress.
event_narrativeA haboob developed along a gust front that preceded heavy rain by a few miles. Visibilities were frequently reduced to one quarter mile or less throughout the northern half of Lubbock County in blowing dust. Officially, the visibility at Lubbock International Airport fell to one quarter mile from 1828 CST until 1900 CST.
