A line of storms/showers came in from the west with the pacific front. Heavier storms stayed to the north initially and then storms began building to the south. My location was at the point of transition of no buildup. One brief heavy sprinkle hit at 9:35 pm. We were blessed with the sound of thunder from the storms to the south. Does the Canadian River valley do this? |

A strong thunderstorm built west of Fritch and moved across Lake Meredith and my site between 8:00 pm and 8:30 pm. Ping Pong size hail began falling at 8:00 pm and was soon combined with windblown hail from ping pong down to pea size hail. Wind was strong and changed directions several times during the next several minutes. Wind blown rain mixed with random hail continued for about 15 minutes. Stronger parts of the storm went to the north and to the south. Rain had stopped by 8:30pm. Total accumulation was 0.20.
Beginning at 4:00 a.m., rain began with some marble hail from thunderstorms moving in from the southwest. Lightening, thunder, rain, wind, some small (pea to marble) hail continued in waves throughout the morning until 7:00 a.m. and continues at this time.

A strong thunderstorm system moving southeast from the Dalhart/Dumas area appeared to be missing my location to the west. The system moved over the Canadian River breaks and stopped southward movement and began building to the east along the breaks. The storm continued building from the west to the east for several minutes before precipitation began, but considerable lightening and thunder began much earlier. Rain began at 12:35 am, very heavy rain began at 12:45 am continuing until 1:30 and then continued with moderate to light rain past 2:00 am. The heavy rain was accompanied by continuous lightening and thunder. Pea to large marble hail fell angled from the southwest during most of the heavy rain. There was no major accumulation of hail on the ground. Wind, at times, approaching 50-60 mph. I would like to have an explanation for the behaviour of this storm system. |

A strong rotating super cell with adjoining weaker cells approached from the north and northwest. My site began receiving light rain around 10:15 pm. Light rain increased to moderate rain between 10:15 and about 10:40. Heavy rain started at 10:40 and lasted until 11:00. Light rain fell for a few minutes after 11:00. Lightening and thunder were constant during that time, both ground to cloud and cloud to cloud. Ground to cloud strikes occurred within a tenth to a few tenths of a mile of my site during the heaviest rain. No hail fell at my site. The precipitation indication on the radar for the heavy rain lagged reality by about 5 minutes. |
