| Episode Narrative |
The same upper low pressure system that resulted in hail across western New Mexico on the 20th, neared and moved over the state on the 21st. Two storms turned severe with better moisture and shear to work with. One storm, over the northeast heights of Albuquerque, dropped up to quarter size hail. Then later, a lone, slow moving storm over central Chaves County, produced two tornadoes. Fortunately, these tornadoes occurred over rural areas. |
| Event Narrative |
SKYWARN spotters and emergency management officials noted a second tornado while looking north from Highway 246. This tornado began just west of Highway 285 and north of Verbena Road. Peak winds were estimated around 65 mph. No significant damage or injuries were reported. |
