Episode Narrative An upper low over Colorado provided adequate wind shear and instability to produce a severe weather outbreak across central and eastern sections of New Mexico. Several of the storms became tornadic while others produced large hail, damaging winds and flooding rain.
Event Narrative Hail stripped trees of leaves which caused clogged storm drains. Runoff from associated heavy rain was unable to drain properly. This resulted in flooding of some city streets with water one to two feet deep.
