During the morning of the seventh, a mesoscale convective system moving across Oklahoma reinforced pre-existing outflow boundaries in the Rolling Plains and eastern South Plains. A weak short wave moving over the top of an upper level ridge combined with a very unstable airmass over the Rolling Plains creating scattered severe thunderstorms. Strong downdraft CAPE values led to very strong reported wind gusts as well as large hail to the size of golf balls. Strong winds blew over a tractor trailer near Kirkland (Childress County) along US Highway 287. In addition, repeated rounds of slow moving thunderstorms dropped several inches of rain on far southwestern Childress County. An NWS cooperative weather observer reported 4.48 inches of rainfall while radar rainfall estimates were between five and six inches just a few miles east of the observer's location.
