Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA deepening upper level trough over southern Nevaded throughout the morning hours set the stages for active weather downstream across the Panhandles. Vertically stacked speed shear aloft out ahead of the main upper level system; in-conjunction with good lift and a rather strong low level jet at 850 mb of around 40 kts set the stages for linear convection to develop across the northern Panhandles along and out ahead of a surface convergence boundary. With SBCAPE around 3000 J/lg and effective bulk shear around 40-50 kts, a good environment had storms congeal into a line and move northeast. Early on, storms across the region produce hail from quarters up to tennis ball size. A second round of storms developed across the southeast Texas Panhandle with additional severe reports including a funnel cloud reported in Wheeler County. Storms quickly exited the region as early evening on the 2nd approached.
