A large western US trough brought continued lee troughing to the Great Plains. This active pattern provided ample wind shear and instability for severe weather. Numerous long-track supercells developed during the afternoon and evening across a large portion of west Texas and southeast New Mexico. These thunderstorms produced numerous large hail, some very large, and severe wind reports. Additionally, flash flooding occurred due to slow-moving high-precipitation supercells.
