Local Weather History For July 19th...
2009 (18th-19th): Scattered thunderstorms developed over the northwestern South Plains this evening. These storms
eventually spread southward over the western and central South Plains. At least one isolated storm displayed supercellular
structure as it impacted the Dimmitt vicinity in Castro County. This storm produced tennis-ball size hail and damaging
winds. A broad area of strong winds developed in the wake of the convective complex over the western South Plains, and a
localized and brief severe gradient wind gust was measured by the Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet in Yoakum
County. Renewed convective development occurred over the Rolling Plains after midnight. Severe storms, including a few
supercells, produced large hail over portions of King and Stonewall Counties during the very early morning hours of the
19th. Significant agricultural losses were reported in Stonewall County, where between 1,500 and 2,000 acres of cotton
were destroyed near Peacock.
