| episode_narrative | The second in a series of potent upper air storm systems transited the Southern Plains on the 26th. Isolated convective shower and thunderstorms developed in advance of the system during the midday and early afternoon hours, as cold mid level temperatures overspread the region and steepened lapse rates. One of these storms, beneath the system's cold pool aloft, stretched a pre-existing circulation sufficiently to result in a weak non-mesocyclonic tornado west of Needmore (Bailey County) between 12:40 CST and 12:44 CST. Convection became more vigorous as it progressed east produced quarter size hail over northern Motley County shortly after 14:00 CST.||As subsidence overspread the region in the wake of the passing system, strong westerly winds impacted portions of the extreme southwestern Panhandle and the western South Plains. High winds were observed by the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet and the KVII-TV Schoolnet across Bailey, Castro and Parmer Counties. ||A list of observed severe wind gusts follows: 59 mph at Friona (Parmer County) and 59 mph at Lazbuddie (Castro County).||A list of high sustained winds follows: 40 mph at Muleshoe (Bailey County), 41 mph at Dimmitt (Castro County), 41 mph at Hart (Castro County) and 43 mph at Friona|(Parmer County).||The strong winds were accompanied by critical fire weather and promoted the ignition and spread of two significant wildfires within ambient drought-stricken fuels. A fire that spread to over 500 acres north of Petersburg (Hale County) destroyed four structures at a homestead and a tractor. A second 3,000 acre fire west of Happy (Swisher County) destroyed two structures and caused evacuations of the town. No injuries were reported, however, total economic losses were estimated at $350,000. |
