A potent upper-level storm system brought severe wind gusts to west Texas and eastern New Mexico during the early morning hours of April 2nd, 2009. Many WTM stations recorded severe wind gusts during this period....both with the cold front and with rain and snow showers under the upper-level storm system. The storm system was able to generate enough lift to create some thundersnow and sleet to the northeast of Lubbock before sunrise. Water Vapor loop below showing system.
