Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across the Caprock this afternoon, where they are expected to become severe. All hazards are possible including strong winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes are possible. Have a Plan to be Weather Aware! #lubwx #txwx

While there is still uncertainty regarding exact storm timing, here is our latest thinking on how storms will evolve across the area through this evening.

Severe thunderstorms are forecast to develop across portions of the Caprock and Rolling Plains this afternoon and evening. Storms will be capable of producing extremely large hail in excess of baseball size, damaging wind gusts up to 80 mph, and tornadoes. Torrential rainfall will also accompany storms, resulting in the potential for localized flash flooding.

Storm chances will diminish tonight, with lingering storms possible in the far southeastern Texas Panhandle. Warm and muggy conditions will continue under mostly cloudy skies.

Severe thunderstorms will be possible Friday afternoon. Damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes will be possible, in addition to heavy rainfall.

Daily chances for thunderstorms, some possibly severe, will continue this week and into the weekend.

Local Weather History For June 5th...

1961: A total of six and possibly seven tornadoes occurred late this day over parts of Dickens, Crosby and Garza Counties.
The first tornado was brief and observed in an open area about nine miles east of Spur. A short while later, two tornadoes
damaged a few utility poles and fence posts between Kalgary and Crosbyton as they remained on the ground for about 15
miles. Approximately the same time as these tornadoes were occurring, three brief tornadoes were sighted only for a few
seconds north of Post moving southwestward. It is entirely possible that a seventh tornado occurred this evening as
moderate structural damage occurred in Post around which time several citizens reported hearing a loud roaring noise. One
home was demolished and the roofs blown off of two others. Storm Data officially lists this damage as straight line winds
around 80 mph; however, it goes on to mention that the roaring noise may have been a funnel passing overhead. No injuries
were reported. Very large hail to baseball size knocked out all the windows of a home seven miles east of Post and hail as
large as golf balls knocked out all north-facing windows in Cone and heavily damaged crops in a triangle from Ralls to
Cone to about 12 miles northeast of Cone. Up to three inches of rain accompanied some of these storms.
