The combined OK/TX Panhandles stayed in a favorable pattern for good amounts of Gulf moisture from the Gulf of Mexico staying around and thunderstorms that drop decent rainfall amounts across the northern combined Panhandles. This led to some flooding on the night of the 14th. Then storms with a little bit more instability late on the 15th created some hail up to an inch in diameter and a severe wind gust up to 66 mph.
