Episode Narrative An active round of severe thunderstorms impacted the South Plains during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 31st. Thunderstorms initiated along a dryline over the western South Plains during the late afternoon hours. Convective modes were mixed between multicell clusters and isolated supercell storms. A cluster of severe storms over southeastern Hale County and western Floyd County produced very large hail, at least two tornadoes and flash flooding. One supercell storm additionally affected portions of western Hale County with very large hail up to the size of baseballs.
More scattered convection initiated during the evening hours and moved east across the South Plains region. Several storms produced damaging thunderstorm winds and hail.
Event Narrative Local fire department officials reported a brief tornado just south of Petersburg. The tornado remained in rural areas and did not result in any damage.
