The evening of the 24th saw very large hail in Lubbock and Lynn Counties as well as a wind turbine completely destroyed near Petersburg (Hale County). Low level moisture streamed into the region early in the morning with low stratus covering the region. However, this low stratus deck burned off quickly which lead to rapid destabilization of the atmosphere. By late in the afternoon, surface based CAPE was analyzed at values between 4000 and 5000 Joules per kg. Despite very little deep layer shear available in the atmosphere, large hail still developed with the substantial amount of instability. Isolated thunderstorms initially developed over the Permian Basin with one of these storms moving northeast into Lynn County. The first storm in Lynn County produced baseball size hail. While baseball size hail was dropping in Tahoka (Lynn County), an isolated thunderstorm rapidly developed over southwestern Lubbock County. This initial thunderstorm moved to the northeast producing hail up to golf ball size. Additional thunderstorms developed along the outflow of this initial thunderstorm. One of these storms moved from the south part of the city of Lubbock to Slaton producing baseball size hail. Another storm developed near New Deal (Lubbock County) and moved northeast into southeastern Hale County. This storm produced hail up to three inches in diameter east of New Deal. However, the most incredible damage from this storm occurred near Petersburg in Hale County. A newly installed wind turbine was completely destroyed by severe thunderstorm winds.
