A cold front moved through the Texas Panhandle during the afternoon hours of the 11th. Behind the front, the combination of increasing pressure gradient and strong winds aloft mixing ti the surface caused several hours of sustained high wind and periodic high wind gusts. Sustained high winds of 40 mph to 48 mph began around 4:00 PM CST and continued until 10:30 PM CST as the surface pressure gradient weakened. Isolated high wind gusts were also reported across the southern Texas Panhandle.
