The episode as NWS MAF wrote it up.
Widely scattered thunderstorms developed over Pecos, Reeves, Winkler, and Howard Counties in the late afternoon, but by 830 pm CDT all storms were dying rapidly. However, strong to severe storms in the Texas South Plains moved southward into Scurry County by 1030 pm. This multicell cluster became disorganized, but put out an outflow boundary that helped a new cluster to form. This cluster moved east and with localized downbursts that took down some utility poles to the north and southeast of Snyder. After moving east of Snyder the cluster became outflow dominated and the hail threat diminished, whereas the isolated damaging winds continued.
The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 97 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 00:19 UTC.
3 thunderstorm wind, 2 hail. Local standard time, as filed.
An intense single cell storm that moved eastward across the county but weakened quickly before crossing into Ector County.
Hail fell from the southern end of a multicell cluster moving east across Scurry County. Numerous cars and roofs were damaged from 24th Street to 44th Street.
