Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.
What the National Weather Service wrote
Golf ball to baseball size hail was observed southeast of Cannon AFB north of the Curry and Roosevelt County line. The hailstones ended up breaking a house window.
The wider storm
A surface convergence boundary was draped across east central NM during the evening hours of May 29th. High moisture was in place east of the boundary. These two features resulted in the development and strengthening of a strong supercell that drifted south and southeast through Curry County. The supercell produced two brief tornadoes along with golf ball to baseball size hail in central and southeast Curry County near Cannon Air Force Base. Rotation weakened as the supercell moved south into Roosevelt County. However, it still dropped baseball to tea cup size hail in Portales. The supercell exited into the Texas South Plains shortly before midnight.
