The wider storm

A weak back door front pushed in from the east as a strong upper low moved into the Upper Midwest. Good shear and instability across southern New Mexico allowed numerous storms to become severe with wind gusts over 80 mph and hail up to golf ball size. In addition, a nighttime haboob caused a multi-car accident along Interstate 10 east of Lordsburg.
