2013-06-21 · near Presidio Big Bend Ar, Presidio, Texas

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.
