Scattered thunderstorms developed late this afternoon ahead of a dryline, initially in the Rolling Plains and then farther west and in greater number across the southern South Plains through late evening. Strong instability and moderate wind shear resulted in many of these storms becoming supercells, some with destructive hail to 3 inches in diameter, but very few severe wind gusts were reported. The south side of Lubbock was especially hard hit by very large hail that fell for up to 15 minute
