| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Two separate rounds of severe thunderstorms developed the afternoon and evening of the 18th ahead of a vigorous upper level trough. By mid-afternoon, a dryline ignited widely scattered supercell thunderstorms from near Childress south to near Aspermont. Marginally severe hail was common with these supercells. One storm south of Guthrie produced a funnel cloud observed by storm chasers. As the dryline retreated early in the evening, a left-moving supercell organized in northwest Garza County and raced north-northeast at highway speeds for the next 2.5 hours accompanied by large hail up to golfball size and severe winds.||A second and more extensive round of thunderstorms emerged late on the 18th across the southwest South Plains as a Pacific cold front collided with the retreating dryline. The result was an extensive squall line that at one point extended from the Oklahoma Panhandle south to the western Permian Basin. Strong low-level shear in the vicinity of this squall line resulted in the formation of at least three persistent, non-tornadic circulations as observed by the NWS-LBB WSR-88D. One of these circulations was sampled in high detail by research meteorologists from Texas Tech University near Reese Center using mobile Doppler radars and high resolution surface stations (sticknets). The mobile data collected suggests these vorticies were likely gustnadoes producing very localized winds up to 78 mph. Shortly after midnight CST, the squall line intensified in the southeast Texas Panhandle where downburst winds of at least 74 mph caused numerous instances of mostly minor structural damage in Memphis. |
