Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
The episode as NWS AMA wrote it up.
Decent chance for storms to develop and move across the majority of the area overnight. Due to the increased instability and better shear today, stronger storms expected. Severe storms with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threats. One storm became a flash flooding issue for typical poor drainage along I-40 in Amarillo.
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 25, 5:41 PM CST, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 641 PM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017 .AVIATION... For the 00z TAFs... Thunderstorms over northern parts of forecast area will likely pose a near-term threat at GUY, with DHT being threatened slightly later. Less certainty for timing for AMA, but thunderstorms are likely this evening and tonight. MVFR ceilings expected to develop at all terminals before sunrise, probably lasting much of the morning. Amendments likely to be forthcoming due to timing uncertainties. Cockrell && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 410 PM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017/ DISCUSSION... Not much for changes in this forecast package as the forecast is still pretty well on track. Temps this afternoon have been slightly warmer than yesterday with the higher temps in the west today and cooler on the eastern side of the CWA due to clouds hanging on longer there. The break in clouds has allowed for more daytime heating and thus increasing the instability today. CAMs are still disagreeing slightly on the extent of coverage for showers and thunderstorms this afternoon through the night. Feel there is a decent chance for storms to develop and move across the majority of the area overnight. Due to the increased instability and better shear today, storms may become stronger than what we saw yesterday; some of the storms on the western half of the area may become severe with large hail and damaging winds being the primary threats. We are already seeing initiation in Sherman and Moore and expect more storms to fire up within the area or move in from the mountains in New Mexico. Monday will look somewhat similar to today with some of the cloud cover lingering in the morning hours, followed by a break out of clouds and then storms again in the late afternoon to evening. These storms may also become strong to severe depending on how much clouds break out, allowing for more instability to be generated. Tuesday looks to see a warm up as winds turn more southwesterly in the low levels and allow for downsloping winds. As the upper level ridge moves across the central Plains, this will be the last day for northwest flow aloft and thus the final day for storm chances to come in from the mountains. Mid week will see zonal flow aloft as a trough tries to move south from Canada. This will lead to even more downsloping and warmer temps. The end of the week will see a return of high pressure building up in the desert southwest. This leads to a return of precip chances for the weekend. Beat && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
