Late this afternoon, a slow-moving supercell thunderstorm formed near New Deal along a stationary front and tracked southward for the next 3.5 hours before finally dissipating near O'Donnell. Numerous reports of large to giant hail accompanied this storm with some hailstones as large as softballs as reported in northeast Lubbock. This supercell also produced localized flooding along its path and wiped out an estimated $14M worth of cotton in southeast Lubbock County. Farther west, an expansive line of storms exiting New Mexico pushed east early this evening and were responsible for creating scattered severe wind gusts over the portions of the South Plains. Multiple roadways accrued standing water with two cars rendered disabled by high water in Tahoka at the US Highway 87 underpass.

A hailswath consisting of large to occasionally giant hail accompanied a slow-moving supercell from near New Deal southward to east Lubbock and to Highway 84 near Loop 289. Initially, baseball size hail was observed on FM Road 1294 one mile east of Interstate 27 near New Deal. The largest hail of approximately softball size fell in northeast Lubbock along East 13th Street around 5:15 pm CST. As this supercell continued southward, the large hail diminished to golf ball and then quarter size. Fortunately, the majority of the large hail fell over sparsely populated sections of east Lubbock; however, vehicles traveling along the east end of Loop 289 did suffer various degrees of body and glass damage. Total property damage from hail is estimated at $50,000. The greatest blow was dealt to area cotton crops primarily in southeast Lubbock County where hail and torrential rains destroyed an estimated 28,000 acres according to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. The value of cotton loss is estimated at $14M.
