The wider storm

A broad area of high pressure was located through the central part of the country with easterly winds tapping low level moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Upper level moisture was tapped from an upper low moving out of the Baja region. These two features combined to create sufficient shear for severe thunderstorms over El Paso county with up to golf ball sized hail and hundreds of millions of dollars in damage across eastern El Paso County. Severe hail was also reported in Hudspeth County.
