SUMMARY:
Isolated thunderstorms developed along a dryline during the late afternoon of June 11, 2005. These thunderstorms initially developed near Dimmitt, and then attempted to develop south along the dryline, from near Littlelfield south to near Levelland and Brownfield. Although the southern most storms did produce some severe hail, they struggled to maintain themselves, and dissipated by around 7 pm.
However, the northern most storm in the Lubbock County Warning Area (CWA) did not dissipate. Instead, this storm grew in size and began to rotate more violently as it interacted with an old east to west oriented outflow boundary that was produced by storms earlier in the day. Eventually, this storm was able to produce one or more short lived tornadoes in extreme northeast Swisher County, just north of Vigo Park, before it moved further north out of the Lubbock CWA.
