Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed over the eastern Colorado Plains during the early afternoon hours of the 14th. These storms formed along a stalled frontal boundary that had moved across the Southern Plains the previous day. A strengthening jet streak moving across western Kansas provided the large scale forcing needed to initiate storms along the stalled front. After a brief track east of the front the storms turned to the right and began moving due south. As they moved southward one of the storms became a dominate supercell among a couple weaker storms and intensified significantly as it moved across the Oklahoma Panhandle. This supercell ingested weaker storms as it moved southward which allowed it to sustain a discrete appearance as it moved into the northern Texas Panhandle. While over the northern Texas Panhandle, this supercell produced two brief tornadoes over undeveloped land. As this storm moved across the central and southern Texas Panhandle, the storm structure took on a more multi-cell linear appearance. These storms moved quickly south of the Texas Panhandle by 9 PM CST.
