Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA potent middle and upper atmospheric storm system moved eastward over the west Texas South Plains on the 17th. This system resulted in the development of numerous thunderstorms across the region. With abundant sunshine and heating that occurred early in the day beneath very cold mid-level temperatures aloft, steep vertical temperature lapse rates developed. With strong instability in place, thunderstorms developed rapidly around midday in the vicinity of a stalled frontal boundary that stretched from northwest to southeast across the region.|Thunderstorm updrafts were enhanced by the cold mid-level temperatures, and this made them efficient for stretching small circulations along the frontal boundary. This process, combined with complex storm interactions and multi-cell storm mergers, resulted in the development of at least six tornadoes across the South Plains region. All of the tornadoes were weak, but some damage did occur in Hale and Lubbock Counties, including within the city of Lubbock. The storms also produced large hail up to the size of ping pong balls.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeHeavy rainfall over Lubbock caused the bar-ditches to fill and minor flooding of some city streets. A car hydroplaned off of the south Loop 289 service road near Quaker Avenue and became submerged in the water-filled bar-ditch. The driver the vehicle was aided to dry ground by rescue personnel and no injuries were reported.
