The Texas Panhandle saw a round of severe convection during the afternoon hours of the 14th. A cold front slowly moving southwestward into the Panhandle combined with a shortwave trough rounding the base of a closed low over the Great Lakes set the stage for convection to develop. The 6 PM CST upper air sounding out of Amarillo (Potter County) showed moderate CAPE of 2673 J/kg and weak deep layer shear in place across the Panhandle. Convection developed over western Kansas and southeastern Colorado and moved southward to enter the Panhandle around 1 PM CST (3 PM CST). While over the northern Texas Panhandle, the storms were able to produce a combination of sub-severe hail and severe wet microbursts. As the storms approached the southern Texas Panhandle, they encountered an outflow from convection over Northwest Texas. The combined forcing of the outflows allowed storms to intensify to produce both severe hail and downbursts. Storms weakened after sunset due to the loss of heating.
