Local Weather History For December 27th...

2007: An exceptionally rare variety of weather visited portions of the South Plains this day including wintry
precipitation and tornadoes. Moist and sub-freezing upslope northeasterly flow behind a cold front resulted in persistent
ice fog through much of the day over the extreme southeastern Texas Panhandle, particularly along the Caprock Escarpment.
By late afternoon, weather impacts became much more intense and diverse. An area of heavy snow developed over the extreme
southwestern Texas Panhandle and the northwestern South Plains. The area of wintry precipitation quickly moved
northeastward, but not before accumulating snows occurred over the area and resulted in treacherous travel conditions.
Roadways, including major interstate highways, became snow packed and remained dangerous well into the morning hours the
following day. The heaviest snow amount of four inches occurred in Happy. South of the snow band, strong winds advected
eastward behind a dryline-like feature that moved over the western and central South Plains. Wind gusts in excess of 40
mph were recorded at a number of Texas Tech University West Texas Mesonet sites over the western South Plains. Wind
contributed to the failure of a metal shed building in northwest Lubbock. Added to this plethora of weather, two
non-supercellular EF0 tornadoes were observed and photographed in the vicinity of Lubbock. Fortunately, these remained
over open land. These tornadoes developed underneath towering cumulus clouds in an environment characterized by strong
low-level instability and wind shear along surface boundaries. No measurable precipitation occurred in association with
the tornadic cumuliform clouds.
