High pressure aloft centered over Nevada maintained a persistent northerly flow over New Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms initially developed over the peaks of the northern high terrain and drifted south throughout the day as storms increased in both coverage and intensity. Some of the storms became severe as vertical wind shear was more than sufficient to support organized storms. The main threat was gusty outflow winds, especially for western New Mexico.
