Scattered severe thunderstorms erupted this afternoon along and ahead of a dryline over the western and northern South Plains.  A few of these storms were supercellular with one long-lived supercell that tracked from New Home east to Dickens and near Guthrie before eventually dissipating north of Seymour after sunset.  For about four hours, this supercell was a prolific hail producer and created extensive damage particularly in Dickens where hail up to tennis ball size stripped trees, shattered car windows and damaged building rooftops.  Farther north, clusters of severe storms and some supercells produced severe hail, albeit with less ferocity than the long-lived supercell.
