An upper level low was centered over the Intermountain West and upper level disturbances moved over West Texas as a result of southwest winds aloft. A dryline was present near the Texas/New Mexico border.  Daytime heating combined with plentiful moisture resulted in good instability which allowed for storms to develop.  Strong low level winds moved over the area after sunset allowing storms to continue into the overnight hours.  There was sufficient wind speed and direction changes with height resulting in rotating severe storms which produced large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.
