The wider storm

Pulses in the southwesterly flow aloft, coupled with the remnants of the stalled boundary from the 19th and 20th, allowed for more thunderstorms to develop on the 21st. One storm managed to produce quarter-sized hail in Lea county. High based showers in far west Texas also produced a couple of severe downbursts.

Began near Tinaja (30.1500, -103.8900).
