| Episode Narrative | Deep moisture and instability over eastern New Mexico combined with northwest flow aloft to produce scattered strong to severe thunderstorms over the east-central and northeast plains. Several clusters of thunderstorms developed by mid afternoon along the east slopes of the central mountain chain then moved quickly southeastward. A severe thunderstorm that developed over Las Vegas produced damaging baseball size hail mainly over the southeastern quadrant of town. Severe damage was reported to many vehicles. Several other storms that moved across Harding, Mora, and San Miguel counties produced golf ball to baseball size hail. Funnel clouds also accompanied the storms in Las Vegas and near Grenville. Heavy rainfall amounts up to nearly three inches were reported with several storms. A pilot flying from Texas to New Mexico fatally crashed near Trujillo in San Miguel County during the active weather. |
| Event Narrative | A KRQE viewer sent in a picture of a small tornado southeast of Wagon Mound. No damage was reported. |
