Scattered showers and thunderstorms developed along a slowly northward advancing warm front during the afternoon hours of the 16th. Some thunderstorms were able to tap into elevated instability sufficiently to move off of the warm front and move northward into the southern Texas Panhandle. While the vast majority of these thunderstorms remained below severe levels, one storm intensified as it moved over the city of Amarillo (Potter and Randall County) and produced hail up to the size of quarters. This storm also produced a lightning bolt which struck the air traffic control tower at the Amarillo International Airport which damaged various equipment systems. Thunderstorms continued to move northward across the Texas Panhandle before dissipating by 9 PM CST.
