Wider weather episode

The upper level storm system responsible for the extended stretch of severe weather starting in late May 2019 produced yet another round of severe thunderstorms over parts of eastern New Mexico on June 3, 2019. The deeper low level moisture and instability started creeping farther east compared to recent days so the stronger storms were over far northeastern and far southeastern New Mexico. Large hail was reported once again with Lincoln and Chaves counties along with high winds and heavy rainfall.
