What the National Weather Service wrote

A member of the public reported water flowing over the intersection of West Highway 180 and County Road H. The total time of occurrence is estimated from radar. No damage was reported.

The wider storm

A few hours after convection from the morning largely decayed, additional showers and thunderstorms developed thanks to an upper-level trough moving over west Texas and southeast New Mexico (along with upslope flow and some remnant outflow boundaries). Heavy rain led to flash flooding in Dawson County, while a landspout was observed west of Hobbs.

Began near Lamesa (32.7334, -101.9981).
