Episode Narrative A backdoor cold front that moved through eastern New Mexico early on June 6, 2022, set the stage for a round of severe thunderstorms across northeast and east central New Mexico as it ushered it beneficial low-level moisture. With plentiful instability and wind shear across this area, the atmosphere quickly became supportive of strong to severe thunderstorms. Thunderstorms developed first across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and then tracked in an easterly direction onto the plains where they strengthened. The strongest thunderstorm of the day started near Wagon Mound and then made a right turn before tracking southeastward through Harding, San Miguel, and Quay counties. When the thunderstorm was southwest of Roy, it developed a strong mesocyclone. While no mesocyclonic tornado was observed, a brief and weak landspout was. This thunderstorm's main hazard then was very large hail with hail up to baseball size reported near Bell Ranch.
Event Narrative A storm chaser reported a brief, weak landspout tornado over open rangeland near Maes. No damage was reported.
