Episode Narrative A second round of storms began to develop over the higher terrain of the northern mountains by the afternoon and move into the eastern plains. Higher surface dewpoint temperatures in the mid 50's to lower 60's over west Texas were advected into southeast and east central New Mexico and acted to fuel ongoing/new convection throughout the day. The increased dewpoints along with increasing instability with daytime heating and steep lapse rates aided in the continued convection and increase in coverage into the afternoon and late evening.
Event Narrative A long track tornadic supercell thunderstorms that developed over far western portions of the caprock in extreme southeast Guadalupe county produced significant and widespread damage along a path that stretched from over 100 miles from approximately 15 miles north of Fort Sumner to near the New Mexico / Texas state line south of Causey. This was the second of two relatively short tornado damage paths surveyed near Dora in Roosevelt County.
