The wider storm

There was a weak upper low over east-central New Mexico and a wind shear axis over the western Permian Basin. This shear axis aided in drawing moisture across the area and helped to produce thunderstorms with strong winds. There were weak upper level winds over the area which contributed to slow storm movement and flash flooding.
