Local Weather History For April 30th...

2000: A moist and very unstable air mass remained in place over the South Plains and Rolling Plains this day as an upper
low moved from northwest New Mexico into the Oklahoma Panhandle. By early afternoon, the stage was set for another
significant severe weather outbreak. Surface low pressure had deepened over the southeastern Texas Panhandle with a
dryline located across the Rolling Plains. A cold front surged south from around Hobbs, New Mexico, northeast to Gage,
Oklahoma while an outflow boundary from early morning thunderstorms extended west from North Texas to near Childress by
early afternoon. Thunderstorms developed around early in the afternoon and several quickly grew into supercell storms. Two
brief F0 tornadoes and giant hail occurred in the Rolling Plains. Another severe thunderstorm developed along the cold
front over southeastern New Mexico and this storm moved into the extreme southern South Plains producing hail up to golf
ball size and wind damage. These storms produced an estimated $420,000 worth of property damage alone.
