The wider storm

An upper level disturbance passing over CO combined with sufficient low-level moisture allowed for scattered storms to develop over northeastern NM during the afternoon of July 19th. These scattered storms stayed over very rural areas through the mid-to-late afternoon period likely producing strong winds and large hail. There was only one report of an estimated severe wind gust just east of Gladstone, NM however.

Began near Ft Sumner (34.4800, -104.2200).
