The wider storm

A mid-level short wave trough moving across New Mexico initiated thunderstorms in central New Mexico on the afternoon of the 22nd. These storms encountered harsher conditions as they moved east into eastern New Mexico and West Texas where much drier air was present. These storms produced a strong outflow boundary which generated severe thunderstorm wind gusts near Happy (Swisher County).

Began near Happy (34.7300, -101.8324).
