| Apr 11, 9:30 PM CDT | HAIL 1 | Garden City, TX |
Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
646 PM CDT SAT APR 11 2009
.DISCUSSION...
SEE AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW...
&&
.AVIATION...
SEVERE WEATHER ONGOING. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE MIDLAND/ODESSA AREA THROUGH 02Z. HEAVY
RAINFALL...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE AT KMAF...HAVE ISSUED AT AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING AT KMAF
UNTIL 02Z. TSTORMS HAVE MOVED TO THE EAST OF ALL OTHER TAF SITES.
WINDS ACROSS THE AREA WILL BACK TO THE WEST OVERNIGHT.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 338 PM CDT SAT APR 11 2009/
DISCUSSION...
FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM FORECAST WILL CONCENTRATE ON INCREASING
SEVERE POTENTIAL ACROSS WEST AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS...AND FAR SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 11 PM CDT...OR 10
PM MDT FOR MUCH OF THE PERMIAN BASIN...THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
PLAINS...AND THE TRANS PECOS REGION.
REGIONAL WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED UPPER LEVEL LOW
SPINNING NEAR THE AZ/NM BORDER THIS AFTERNOON. LIFT WITHIN THE
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE IS CURRENTLY SPREADING
ACROSS SOUTHWEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. REGIONAL RADAR
IMAGERY SHOWS ELEVATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING FROM FAR
WEST TEXAS TO THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EDDY
COUNTY PLAINS. SCATTERED AND MORE INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS ARE STARTING
TO DEVELOP FROM ROUGHLY NORTHERN LEA COUNTY...SOUTHWARD TO THE TRANS
PECOS REGION WITHIN THE AXIS OF BETTER LOW LEVEL DEWPOINTS (IN THE
MID TO UPPER 40S F) AND INSTABILITY (MUCAPE APPROACHING 1000 J/KG).
THE OPPORTUNITY EXISTS FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS
FAR SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...THE PERMIAN BASIN AND THE TRANS PECOS
REGION THIS AFTERNOON...WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED INSTABILITY/MOIST
AXIS AND ALSO GIVEN FAVORABLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR PROFILES UNDERNEATH
AN APPROACHING MID LEVEL JET MAX. THE PRIMARY SEVERE HAZARDS THIS
AFTERNOON WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER...ISOLATED
TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE.
THUNDERSTORMS THEN LOOK TO ORGANIZE INTO A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THIS
EVENING AND TRANSLATE EASTWARD ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN/TRANS PECOS
REGION. WE HAVE ORIENTED THE HIGHEST GRIDDED POPS (80-90 PCT) ACROSS
THE PERMIAN BASIN THIS EVENING...TAPERED TO SLIGHT CHANCE ACROSS THE
WESTERN CWFA. THE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX LOOKS TO EXIT OUR FORECAST AREA
NOT TOO LONG AFTER MIDNIGHT...SO POPS WILL QUICKLY TAPER PAST THEN.
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE SUNDAY.
MODELS INDICATE SOME RESIDUAL MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND STEEP LAPSE
RATES LOCATED FROM LEA COUNTY THROUGH THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN ON
THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THIS FEATURE SUNDAY...SO HAVE OPTED TO INCLUDE
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THESE LOCATIONS. ALSO OF CONCERN SUNDAY
WILL BE INCREASING WESTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE CWFA AS THE ASSOCIATED
DEEP SURFACE LOW MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS. THE
STRONGEST WINDS LOOK TO IMPACT THE GUADALUPE...DELAWARE AND DAVIS
MOUNTAINS AND THE VAN HORN/HWY 54 CORRIDOR...WHERE A HIGH WIND WATCH
HAS BEEN POSTED SUNDAY. A WIND ADVISORY MAY ALSO BE NEEDED ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS...THE TRANS PECOS REGION AND THE
MARFA PLATEAU. FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL ALSO INCREASE ACROSS AREAS
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 10...ADDITIONAL FIRE WEATHER DETAILS ARE
PROVIDED IN THE SECTION BELOW.
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE BEYOND SUNDAY. THE UPPER LOW WILL
PULL WELL NORTHEAST OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT IN ITS WAKE. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION LATE SUNDAY EVENING/EARLY MONDAY MORNING. SHORTWAVE RIDGING
WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY...WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. STILL SOME
DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN MODEL SOLUTIONS DURING THE MIDDLE TO LATE WEEK
TIME FRAME...THE EUROPEAN MODEL STILL INDICATES AN UPPER LOW MOVING
ACROSS NEW MEXICO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH CONVECTION DEVELOPING
AHEAD OF IT ACROSS AREAS EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER. THE GFS IS STILL
TRENDING FARTHER NORTH WITH THE SYSTEM...AND FARTHER EAST WITH THE
CONVECTION. LEFT THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW...BUT BEARS WATCHING WITH
LATER MODEL RUNS. /21/
FIRE WEATHER...
A BRIEF PERIOD OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED TO
OCCUR OVER THE PRESIDIO VALLEY AND BIG BEND REGION THIS AFTERNOON
AND EARLY THIS EVENING WHERE SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL
COINCIDE WITH RH/S OF 10 TO 15 PERCENT. SINCE THE DURATION OF THESE
CONDITIONS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE THREE HOURS OR MORE...A RED FLAG
WARNING WILL NOT BE ISSUED. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE PERMIAN BASIN AND
POINTS EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS TURNING TO THE
WEST BEHIND IT. RECOVERY WILL BE FAIR TO GOOD GENERALLY WEST OF THE
PECOS RIVER...AND GOOD OR BETTER TO THE EAST.
WIND SPEEDS WILL RISE TO 20 TO 30 MPH AREAWIDE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH/S SUNDAY WILL DROP TO 10 TO 15 PERCENT OVER THE
PRESIDIO VALLEY...BIG BEND REGION...STOCKTON PLATEAU AND LOWER TRANS
PECOS. WILL ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THESE AREAS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH/S WILL REMAIN ABOVE 15 PERCENT OVER
THE REST OF THE AREA. EVEN STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE
GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS...AND THE VAN HORN AND HIGHWAY 54
CORRIDOR. WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE AFTER 13/00Z. RECOVERY SUNDAY NIGHT
WILL BE POOR TO FAIR WEST OF THE PECOS RIVER...AND GOOD OR BETTER TO
THE EAST.
MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH/S MONDAY WILL BE 10 TO 15 PERCENT AGAIN OVER
THE PRESIDIO VALLEY AND BIG BEND REGION...BUT CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED AS WIND SPEEDS IN THESE AREAS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE 20 MPH OR GREATER. MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH/S WILL
GENERALLY STAY ABOVE 15 PERCENT NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE REST OF
THE AREA. RECOVERY MONDAY NIGHT WILL BE FAIR TO GOOD ALONG AND EAST
