| Episode Narrative |
A short wave trough in northwest flow aloft around high pressure centered over southern New Mexico triggered severe thunderstorms that produced large hail across parts of eastern New Mexico. The hail caused significant damage in Union County, to the west and northwest of Clayton. |
| Event Narrative |
The general public and law enforcement officials reported car windshields broken by golf ball-sized hail along Highway 56. A garden and greenhouse were damaged at a nursery and several homes suffered broken windows and skylights. The hail dented kitchen appliances inside one home as it fell through the skylight. |
