| Episode Narrative | The last of a three day active severe weather period occurred across much of west Texas. The dryline retreated overnight and once again became active in regards to thunderstorm development. Enhancement to storms occurred as an upper level disturbance tracked across the area during the time of peak thunderstorm development. One of the primarily driving factors to storm severity was the presence of high instability. Increased shear also aided in the development of tornadic supercells. Resulting thunderstorms produced large hail and a few tornadoes across the area. |
