Local Weather History For April 10th...

1979: An outbreak of tornadoes including the devastating Wichita Falls, TX tornado occurred this "Terrible
Tuesday" over much of northwest Texas and southwest Oklahoma. Before these significant storms materialized, the South
Plains region saw severe storms with isolated tornadoes develop very early in the afternoon. As early as 1:08 PM, a
tornado touched down just southeast of Crosbyton over open county. Thirty minutes later, a small tornado was observed just
east of Plainview by the DPS personnel, but little information is known about this tornado as it moved swiftly northeast.
The last storm in the area produced hail up to golf ball size damaging some crops in Afton and later in Guthrie.
Thereafter, intense westerly winds over 60 mph swept over the region behind a dryline and cold front. By late afternoon,
widespread blowing dust enveloped the South Plains; however, visbilities at Lubbock only fell to 1.5 miles as the
strongest winds spared the region and took aim throughout the Permian Basin.
