Hail in Colfax County, New Mexico

Long lasting hail with strong winds and numerous tree branches downed. A report on twitter also indicated large hail broke a plate glass window in a shop in Springer. Power went out and did not come back on until 3pm local time on July 14th. Damage is an estimate.

Higher low-level moisture on July 13th and a backdoor cold front replenishing this moisture for July 14th and 15th combined with robust upper level wind shear produced three days of severe weather across eastern NM. Severe weather impacts were limited to northeastern NM on the 13th and 14th, becoming more widespread across northeastern and east-central NM on the 15th. There were a few thunderstorm wind gusts measured in the vicinity of the White Sands Missile Range on the 13th and 14th, likely from dry microbursts as the exception for the 13th and 14th. More substantial reports of damage and large hail occurred on the 15th ranging from broken skylights, flooding, accumulated hail, and a tornado. Thankfully, there were no reports of injuries or casualties.
