Severe weather was predominant across the central and western Panhandles. As an upper level worked its way east toward the Four Corners region, this helped to bring in some good mid level moisture. Although the low level moisture was not as pronounced, enough mid level instability and a strong mid level jet allowed did set the stage for discrete supercells. A surface low also formed in SW Kansas which helped to compact surface isobars and increase surface winds which eventually set up a dryline across the far western Panhandle which was the local initiation for these thunderstorms. Meso-analysis of 1000-1500 MLCAPE and DCAPE with 0-6 bulk shear around 50 kts allowed for discrete supercells. In-conjunction with cold mid-level temperatures moving closer to the Panhandles in association with the main upper level low, large hail and gusty winds were the main threat wit these storms. The result of the afternoon were many severe wind reports and hail size as big as 1.5.
