| Episode Narrative |
High pressure aloft became centered over Missouri with weaker centers present over parts of eastern New Mexico. This pattern maintained a persistent south to north steering component for storms that developed within a deep monsoonal moisture plume over the state. Precipitable water values were 150-200% of normal. A well-defined easterly wave sliding into the state from the east also provided an additional source of instability for thunderstorms. |
| Event Narrative |
A brief landspout tornado was observed, but no damage was reported. KOB-TV relayed a photo of the landspout from a viewer located about 20 miles from the parent thunderstorm. |
