| Episode Narrative |
An increased potential for heavy rainfall existed across much of the region. The prevailing upper level pattern over the area led to weak storm steering currents. This coupled with abundant atmospheric moisture resulted in thunderstorms, which in turn produced heavy rainfall and flash flooding across southeast New Mexico. |
| Event Narrative |
A trained spotter reported six to eight inches of water flowing across several street intersections in Artesia. |
