| Episode Narrative |
Thunderstorms formed under light northerly flow aloft and moved rapidly southward across the area. In one case, a large cluster of severe thunderstorms more than 100 miles to the north sent a large, fast moving outflow southwestward across Sierra, Luna and Dona Ana Counties. |
| Event Narrative |
Strong outflow winds from a distant thunderstorm complex produced winds gusting to 50 mph in northern Sierra County. These winds persisted long enough over Elephant Butte Reservoir to produce 4 to 5 foot waves, which caused a marina to break up. Persons in the vicinity of the marina were evacuated. |
