A moist upslope easterly flow at the surface following the passage of a cold front combined with a disturbance in the upper atmosphere approaching from the west triggered scattered severe thunderstorms during the late evening and early morning hours across the western and south-central Texas panhandle.  These severe storms produced plenty of large hail as they moved east.  The large hail caused considerable damage in Amarillo to the roofs and skylights of people's homes and also to automobiles.
