episode_narrativeScattered thunderstorms developed this afternoon along the edge of the Caprock in Briscoe and Floyd Counties. Very strong instability compensated for weak wind shear and allowed a few of these storms to become supercells and produce very large hail as they tracked slowly southeastward. More numerous storms then surged south from the Texas Panhandle and resulted in a large, southward-moving storm complex that affected much of the South Plains and Rolling Plains through the evening. This complex of storms produced a handful of severe wind gusts and a large wall of dirt (haboob) that reduced visibilities to near zero for a few minutes at the Lubbock International Airport.
event_narrativeA wall of dirt (haboob) struck the Lubbock International Airport along the leading edge of outflow from a large complex of storms. The FAA contract weather observer noted that the visibility fell to less than one hundred feet for about three minutes before slowly improving withing the following ten minutes. Video from the NWS Lubbock office's airport camera confirmed near zero visibility for a couple minutes.
