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.
