Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

The wider storm

An upper ridge was over northern Mexico, and abundant moisture was over the area from southeast low level winds. A surface boundary was present across the Permian Basin with upper level disturbances passing nearby which provided lift. This lift and moisture combined with good instability to produce hail, strong winds, and flash flooding across New Mexico and West Texas.

Began near Mentone (31.8013, -103.6000).
