Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeMay 7th, 2019 was a very active day for significant severe weather which lasted from early morning into the evening. A combination of an approaching strong upper level storm system that moved across Arizona into New Mexico, moderate to high levels of wind shear and moderate to high levels of instability led to the severe thunderstorm and tornadic events. Thunderstorms that started in the late morning hours for the northwestern Texas/Oklahoma produced hail that was generally below 1 inch. This activity drifted into the north central Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles by early afternoon. ||Wind shear and large scale lift increased as an upper level disturbance continued to move east crossing Arizona into New Mexico in the the afternoon and evening hours. As a result, supercell development increased as did storm intensity. Maximum hail size increased from less than one inch to golf ball and eventually baseball size with the strongest storms. Cooling produced by morning and early afternoon activity enhanced an existing weak surface boundary that extended across the south central Texas Panhandle northeastward into the eastern Oklahoma Panhandles. Supercell thunderstorms that developed along and near this boundary began generating tornadoes due to the additional wind shear it produced. In all, eight tornadoes formed across portions of the central and eastern Texas Panhandle into the early evening hours. The storms eventually congealed into a line of thunderstorms across the far eastern Panhandles before moving east out the region during the late evening of the 7th. In addition to the very large hail and tornadoes, severe wind gusts and localized flash flooding were all reported during this event across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles.
