| episode_narrative | Several bands of rare mid-fall severe thunderstorms developed across east central New Mexico just south of a stationary cold front that lay from Clovis to Las Vegas. The most intense storms formed during mid-afternoon over southwest De Baca County and moved northeast between Tucumcari and Clovis. One particular menacing storm began in northeast Lincoln County. As this storm reached south central De Baca County it developed an intense and longed lived mesocyclone with classical radar tornado signatures that lasted for nearly three hours as the storm tracked east northeast from De Baca County into northwest Roosevelt County and into Curry County. Low stratus clouds kept skies unusually overcast and prevented active tornado sightings over the vast rangeland where the storm passed. Several funnel clouds and at least one tornado were confirmed. Extreme hail, however, was reported along the track of the storm reflectivity core whenever it passed over populated areas. Heaviest damage from baseball size hail was recorded in a steady stream of broken windows, extensive vehicle and roof damage from Melrose to Ranchvale northeastward. |
