A strong upper level short wave trough and polar jet stream over the southwestern United States moved across the Rockies on the afternoon of the 22nd which brought widespread severe weather to the Central High Plains down into the Southern High Plains. As a result, strong surface cyclogenesis occurred in lee of the Rockies which brought robust moist southerly winds into the South Plains of West Texas. These southerly winds produced severe wind gusts at times also lofting dust across a widespread area. The increase in low level atmospheric moisture and steep mid level lapse rates allowed instability values to rise to around 3000 J/kg by late afternoon. However, a stout elevated mixed layer existed over the area from persistent southwesterly winds overhead. This cap was able to suppress most convection across the region however, one supercell thunderstorm was able to develop. This storm tracked northeastward across Castro County dropping hail up to tennis ball size.
