| Episode Narrative |
An upper level trough across the Great Basin resulted in southwest flow aloft across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. The combination of disturbances moving northeast across the area, strong daytime heating and good low level moisture ahead of the dryline resulted in severe weather across the area. The main threat during this episode was large hail and strong damaging winds. |
| Event Narrative |
