Overview

Wind shear increased in an unstable environment ahead of a short wave trough. Thunderstorms developed over northeast New Mexico and moved southeast. As they moved southeast they formed into and MCS which produced occasional severe wind gusts as it moved southeast across the Texas Panhandle.
