Scattered thunderstorms developed over the central and eastern Permian Basin of west Texas as a cold front began to work its way south into the area. A few of these storms became severe and produced large hail and flash flooding. The most significant activity occurred in the Big Spring area, where hail up to the size of golfballs and extensive flash flooding was reported. Despite the closing of several highways due to high water and reports of high water rescues, no injuries were reported.
