Event narrative
A thunderstorm moved across Culberson County and produced two inch hail along Ranch Road 652. Over 20 vehicles were damaged along this road. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
Wider weather episode
Very good low-level moisture and instability were in place as well as upslope winds along the higher terrain. The limiting factor in storm development was weak wind shear. Nevertheless, these conditions resulted in storms developing in West Texas and southeast New Mexico with strong winds, large hail, and flash flooding.
