| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Driven southwest by outflow from a complex of thunderstorms in Oklahoma early this morning, a frontal boundary moved into the northeast South Plains and northern Rolling Plains by noon ahead of very moist easterly winds. Although a weak upper ridge was in place over West Texas, a subtropical jet streak flowing over the region assisted in severe thunderstorm development. Strong instability combined with upslope flow and the frontal boundary allowed a supercell storm to erupt early this afternoon in central Floyd County before moving slowly south accompanied by multiple landspout tornadoes, large hail and heavy rain. As this supercell collapsed near Cone, a haboob raced south and west with winds up to 77 mph resulting in minor damage to trees and structures in Crosbyton. Thereafter, a second supercell storm developed to the east in central Dickens County which also proceeded to move south. While east of Spur, this supercell produced an EF-1 tornado over ranch land that damaged some trees. As this storm's mesocyclone continued southward, intense and prolonged rear flank downdraft winds measured as high as 92 mph created scattered structural damage in Girard and Jayton. Torrential rains were measured as high as 4.3 inches by a NWS COOP observer in Jayton; however, flash flooding was not reported. Fortunately, no injuries occurred with any of these storms. Total property losses could exceed $250,000. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Torrential rains fell over much of far northeast Kent County from a slow-moving, high precipitation supercell. In Jayton, the NWS COOP observer measured a staggering 4.3 inches of rain; most of which fell in one hour. Elsewhere, a Texas Tech University West Texas mesonet station southeast of Jayton recorded 2.45 inches; however, intense straight-line winds during the heaviest rainfall likely resulted in some undercatch issues. These rains produced minor flooding of roads and ranch land with at least one instance of several inches of water flowing over a road near Girard. Runoff from these rains caused a river gage ten miles south of Aspermont to rise seven feet in four hours early the next morning, but this impressive rise still remained well below the river flood action stage. |
