Local Weather History For August 16th...
2010: Scattered thunderstorms developed along a stalled surface boundary over the extreme southwestern Panhandle during
the late afternoon hours of the 16th. A few of these initial storms displayed supercellular characteristics, but remained
over open range land and no reports of severe weather were received. Later in the evening, the activity grew up-scale and
spread east and southeastward over the northern South Plains. A small complex of storms resulted in an intermittent swath
of damaging winds over portions of Hale and Floyd Counties.
