An unseasonably deep upper level low over the Great Basin forced a strong jet streak over New Mexico while the monsoon moisture plume was centered from southwest to northeast over the state. This moist and unstable pattern allowed for the development of several severe thunderstorms with large hail and torrential rainfall. A slow-moving storm near Santa Fe dumped quarter to ping pong ball size hail in Santa Fe. Flash flooding was observed as well. A storm around Isleta Pueblo produced quarter size hail. A mudslide was captured on video near Red River. Highway 38 was closed until the flow subsided and the mud was cleared.
