After a few lingering showers Saturday morning, an additional round of storms is expected to develop and tracking into the South Plains Saturday evening. Storms will move northeastward throughout the evening bringing chances for large hail and gusty winds before shifting into a heavy rainfall event overnight Saturday.

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms, some severe, are forecast area-wide from the predawn hours Saturday and into Saturday night. Storms during the predawn hours may be capable of producing large hail. The second round of storms is forecast to reload during the afternoon hours, with storms capable of producing damaging winds up to 70 mph and large hail up to golf ball size, in addition to locally heavy rainfall.
Unsettled weather continues through the weekend and next week with storm chances everyday.

 

 

 

Local Weather History For April 11th...
2009: A significant severe weather episode impacted portions of southeastern New Mexico and the West Texas Permian Basin
late this afternoon and evening. The storms developed east of a dryline and south of a warm front which advanced northward
over the South Plains region. Cool and stable air north of the frontal boundary precluded widespread severe weather over
much of the South Plains, but a few thunderstorms, including one supercell storm, impacted the far southwestern portions
of the South Plains region. While Doppler radar indicated the potential for a tornado with this storm over southern Yoakum
County, no tornado was confirmed. Large hail and damaging thunderstorm winds, however, were observed. These winds caused
$15,000 in damages to utility poles and lines along HWY 83 west of Denver City.
