Strong Wind in Davis Mountains, Texas

LANDSPOUT. Location: 30.270,-103.840/30.255,-103.850. A storm chaser reported a large landspout moving southwest near Paisano Pass. The distance that the landspout travelled is estimated. No damage was reported, and the maximum wind gust associated with the landspout is also estimated. The size of the landspout was approximately 45 yards.

A stationary boundary (and associated surface convergence), coupled with upslope flow, led to the development of severe thunderstorms during the afternoon of June 10th as a shortwave approached Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Initial isolated to scattered storms tended to produce large hail and damaging winds. Upscale growth occurred during the evening/overnight hours, and the primary threat shifted to damaging winds (similar to what happened during the evening of June 9th).
