Event narrative

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.

Wider weather episode

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.
