The wider storm

Afternoon severe thunderstorms would develop across eastern New Mexico and merge into an MCS that would track through portions of southeast New Mexico and the Permian Basin late in the evening. An outflow boundary from other thunderstorms would also initiate a few supercells ahead of the MCS. Damaging winds, flash flooding, and large hail were all reported with these thunderstorms.
