A well defined dryline was apparent just east of a Roswell, NM to west of Marfa, TX line on this day.  Dewpoints east of the dryline were in the upper 50s to mid 60s F.  Large scale lift increased over the area as a series of mid level shortwave troughs and upper level jet dynamics moved overhead.  Surface convergence and daytime heating, combined with the previous, resulted in severe thunderstorms during the afternoon hours.
