An upper level jet that oriented southwest to northeast over New Mexico interacted with deep moisture and surface heating to produce scattered strong to severe thunderstorms.  The first round of storms developed around the higher terrain of central New Mexico by early afternoon and pushed slowly into the Estancia Valley and nearby highlands.  A second round of storms with heavy rainfall developed well after sunset and pushed across the Manzano Mountains into the Estancia Valley again. Penny to half dollar size hail was reported with the first round of storms and flash flooding was reported with the second round.  A vehicle was washed off a road in Torrance County and its occupants required rescue by local law enforcement.
