| Episode Narrative |
Isolated thunderstorms developed underneath a band of higher mid-level moisture. In addition, very moist conditions near the surface resulted in modest surface based instability across southeast New Mexico. Although the environment was not favored for tornado development, a very brief landspout was observed in Eddy County. |
| Event Narrative |
A brief land spout tornado developed on the north end of Artesia, NM. The exact location of this tornado was estimated according to the spotter's description. No damage was done, and it only persisted for about 1 minute. |
