What happened

The episode as NWS AMA wrote it up.

An upper level disturbance moved across the Panhandles during the afternoon...triggering severe thunderstorms in a warm...moist...and unstable air mass. These storms produced large hail and damaging thunderstorm wind gusts. The strong winds knocked over telephone poles near Panhandle but no injuries were reported from the storms.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 14, 3:12 PM CST, 30 minutes earlier.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED

UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE TORNADO WATCH ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL AND

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 257 PM CDT SUN JUN 14 2009/

DISCUSSION...
CLOUD ARE BEGINNING TO DISSIPATE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE...THUS INCREASING THE SEVERE THREAT FOR THE REST OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...THEREFORE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
IS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE THROUGH 02Z.
STORMS COULD LINGER INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...BUT THINK THE MAIN
SEVERE THREAT WILL BE THROUGH 02Z.

TOMORROW WITH THE DRYLINE MIXING INTO THE FAR EASTERN
PANHANDLES...EXPECT THE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION TO BE CONFINED TO
THE EASTERN ZONES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. FOR TOMORROW
NIGHT...MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE A WEAK COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH
THE REGION BRINGING LITTLE MORE THAN A WIND SHIFT. HOWEVER...EXPECT
LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT. THEREFORE UNDERCUT
GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY. FROM TUESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY...THE RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE HIGH PLAINS RESULTING IN A
DRIER PATTERN. THE ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE MOUNTAIN CONVECTION
DEVELOPING IN NEW MEXICO ON ANY AFTERNOON THROUGH MID WEEK COULD
PROPAGATE INTO THE WESTERN PANHANDLES...BUT TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT
THIS POINT TO INCLUDE POPS. WITH THE RIDGE AMPLIFYING...A SIGNIFICANT
WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED WITH TEMPERATURES OVER 100 DEGREES POSSIBLE
ACROSS SOME PORTIONS OF THE REGION ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY.

INTO THE EXTENDED...THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT OF
A PATTERN CHANGE BY THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH A SHIFT FROM THE UPPER
LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW THAT HAS DOMINATED OVER THE LAST WEEK OR SO
TO NORTHWESTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW. THIS COULD SIGNAL A RETURN TO A
MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN. HOWEVER...MODELS AT THIS TIME ARE
UNCERTAIN AS TO THE EXACT ONSET OF THIS PATTERN...IT COULD BE AS
EARLY AS THURSDAY OR AS LATE AS SATURDAY. FOR THAT REASON HAVE NOT
INCLUDED POPS IN THE EXTENDED AS OF YET.

SJOHNSON

FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL BE INCREASING...AS A WARMING TREND IS
EXPECTED WITH MOSTLY DRY WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEK. ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE BY TUESDAY ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
WESTERN PANHANDLES.
