A stationary cold front draped to the south of the region and potent upper level disturbances approaching from Northern Mexico caused increasing wind shear and instability across portions of West Central Texas.  These features triggered isolated elevated severe thunderstorms near Abilene on April 14.  On April 15, more severe thunderstorms resulted in several large to very large hail storms.
