In advance of a slow-moving upper low in the Four Corners, a dryline over the eastern South Plains focused thunderstorm development by early afternoon.  As these storms moved northeast and off the Caprock, they intensified with some becoming supercells.  These supercells produced copious amounts of severe hail and heavy rainfall that resulted in some flooding.  One supercell produced three EF-0 tornadoes from northwest King County into eastern Dickens County.  All tornadoes remained over open land and were documented by storm chasers.
