What happened

The episode as NWS AMA wrote it up.

An upper level low pressure system moved across the combined Panhandles on October 24th. It combined with sufficient moisture, cold temperatures in the upper atmosphere and enough wind shear to bring a few strong to severe thunderstorms to the region. These storms brought small hail to the region as well as efficient rainfall that led to flooding issues.

The radar

The Amarillo radar (KAMA), 21 km away, was scanning. The volume nearest the first event began at 23:12 UTC.
