A moist backdoor cold front pushed southwest across the eastern plains and through the central mountains. Strong instability and sufficient low level shear set the stage for a significant round of severe weather across eastern New Mexico. Storms began to form during the early afternoon hours with many cells becoming severe by midday. Several storms produced large hail, strong winds, and a few tornadoes.  A powerful storm near Maxwell produced hen egg size hail and significant damage to cars and windows. A supercell thunderstorm that developed near Ranchvale and progressed across the north side of Clovis produced a tornado in Ranchvale and widespread wind and hail damage in Clovis. An impressive 79mph wind gust was reported at Cannon Air Force Base. The NMSU Agricultural Science Center suffered major damage to crops, buildings, and vehicles from hail. Thunderstorms continued in the northeast portion of the state into the following morning.
