What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm moved across Presidio County and produced 50 to 60 mph wind gusts in Marfa. Four inch diameter tree limbs were knocked down as a result of these winds. The cost of damage is a rough estimate.

The wider storm

An upper level ridge had become flattened over the region as a result of an upper level disturbance that was over the Texas panhandle. A surface trough, which provided lift, was across Southeast New Mexico and far West Texas. There was plentiful low-level moisture and instability across the area. These ingredients allowed severe thunderstorms to develop across the Davis Mountains, Big Bend area, Upper Trans Pecos, and Southeast New Mexico.

Began near Marfa (30.3200, -104.0200).
