The wider storm

Low level moisture moved back westward into eastern New Mexico on May 30, 2019 as another upper level trough took shape over the western United States. Sufficient mid level moisture and instability ahead of this wave within central New Mexico generated a few thunderstorms with strong outflow winds and even a brief landspout tornado near Crownpoint. The main focus for severe thunderstorms was over eastern New Mexico where high winds impacted the area around Tucumcari and especially Dexter where some wind damage was reported.

Began near Correo (34.9800, -107.1700).
