An upper level disturbance and the associated surface cold front caused a series of thunderstorm lines to move across the Texas Panhandles during the evening and late night hours of the 27th.  Thunderstorms developed across the central Texas Panhandle during the early evening hours of the 27th, they initiated as discrete thunderstorms that quickly formed into a broken line. Elevated instability remained sufficient for another broken line of thunderstorms to develop west of the initial line. This line also moved across the Texas Panhandle producing isolated severe wind gusts. By 11:00 PM CST, the final line of thunderstorms formed along the surface cold front as it moved across the Panhandle. This line was not able to produce any further severe wind gusts due to the strengthening nocturnal inversion.
