Heavy rains onceagain affected mostly the south half of Iowa, with flooding occurring in many rivers and streams. The flooding was more seriousthis time as the soils were more saturated. Many acres of farmland were under water, but only for a relatively short period of time.

A small cluster of stormsdeveloped in the moutains and drifted south causing primarily hail damage. In Jackson county hail damage was widespreaddenting cars and damaging roofs. The most widespread hail damage, however covered the foothills and piedmont from Lenior toHickory to Charlotte and Mathews. Multiple severe storms caused extensive damage especially around Hickory, Newton andMaiden. Hail of golf ball size or larger covered the ground in many places causing damage to cars and roofs. Almost every newand used car dealership in Catawba county reported severe damage. One dealership alone reported $4 million damage. Similardamage was reported around the Charlotte area although it was not as widespread and did not persist so long. The hail wasaccompanied by severe downburst winds in just a few spots; especially into the evening. A utility building was destroyed by thewind at Vale. The other wind damage reports were of trees and power lines downed. It is not possible to separate the hail damageby event so the final event in each county is an estimate of damage based on clippings and other anecdotal evidence. During theevening the storms gained multicell characteristics developing new storms repeatedly on their western flanks. These storms causedmore and more damaging wind.

Typically the wettest month of the year,May was unusually dry in 1996. In the Dallas/Fort Worth area, rainfall recorded during the month was the 7th driest May of alltime. The period from January through May was the 4th driest of all time while the 10 month period ending in May 1996 was the7th driest of all time. This extended period of low precipitation resulted in numerous problems for the agricultural communityincluding low harvest yields of wheat and hay, and minimal to low planting success of corn, cotton, grain sorghum, peanuts andrice; ranchers and dairy farmers were forced to sell cattle at record low prices due to the lack of grazelands, high price of hay (theprice of hay doubled in a year), and the shortage of surface drinking water. Wheat production across the state was down 50 to 90percent from 1995 levels and was at the lowest level since 1978. Additionally, area lake levels were down, impacting the

Many towns were pelted with up to golfball-size hail. Some of the worst property damage occurred inO'Donnell (southern Lynn County) where many houses and vehicles were heavily damaged by golfball-size hail, and where treesand structures were damaged due to strong winds. Equally large - but more damaging - hail struck southern Lubbock, where roofsacross a wide area were damaged.Several tornadoes occurred during this severe weather outbreak. The longest track tornado was reported in northern DickensCounty by spotters with several agencies. Only minor damage occurred in this mostly open-country area, but the storm started nearMcAdoo and ended east of Afton. The same storm caused a tornado near the four-corner intersection ofMotley/Cottle/King/Dickens Counties (as reported by a NWS cooperative observer near Dumont), and another one that downedtelephone poles southwest of Paducah (Cottle County). Other weak, short-lived tornadoes were reported near Friona, northeast ofTahoka, near Wilson, and southwest of Guthrie.Some areas received very heavy rainfall in a very short period of time. Flooding was reported with torrential rains in Lubbock,where many roads were closed due to high water.

This period was marked as the driest October through May on record at the National Weather Service (NWS) office withonly 2.04 inches (72% below average) of precipitation during that time, May 1996 found temperatures common in mid-Summerwith the average maximum temperature for the month of 95.6 degrees (9.7 degrees above average). May, usually one of the wettermonths, ended with only 0.11 inch (94% below average) at the NWS office.Burning bans were implemented in many of the cities and counties in the region. During May there were three severe weatherevents that brought welcome rains, but unwelcomed hail and high winds. The only areas to recieve substantial rains were in an areathat stretched from central Lea County, NM, eastward Texas into Gaines County, and southeastward into Martin, Howard,Glasscock and Reagan Counties. Most other counties recieved very little measureble rain. The driest areas stretched from nearMidland/Odessa southwestward to the Pecos River.

Graduation ceremony was ready tocommence when softball hail struck Howard College. Skylights on the coliseum roof were shattered sending glass falling onto thefloor that would have been filled with candidates just a few minutes later.

The dry linewhich had been against the mountains in the morning had moved eastward and fired storms from Scurry County to just southeastof Midland. A weak surface trough was sagging southward through the area as well, but north of the trough, dew points did notdecrease substantially. As a result, splitting storms over the northern part of the area were favoring the left-split storms (e.g. BigSpring), versus storms over the south favoring the right-split storms. The left-split storms were prolific hail machines with nodamaging winds, tornadoes, nor flash flooding, but every storm eventually generated baseball size hail or greater.Pecos CountyGirvin13 1550CST0 0Thunderstorm Wind (G52)A multicell cluster of storms developed in Central Pecos County and moved eastward.
