Hail — Loving, Texas

2018-05-17 · near Mentone, Loving, Texas

Wider weather episode

An upper ridge extended up from Mexico across the panhandle of Texas and to the front range of the Rocky Mountains. A good amount of moisture was in place across the much of the area as far west as the Guadalupe Mountains of Texas and New Mexico. There was also a good amount of lift, and lingering boundaries helped with the development of storms area-wide. These storms produced large hail and strong winds in both southeast New Mexico and west Texas as far south as Terrell County.
