The combination of summer heating and high low level moisture content provided the necessary conditions to create a highly unstable environment across the Southern Appalachian region. The instability and more than adequate upper level west to northwesterly flow allowed an mesoscale convective system to remain quite strong as it moved east across the area. Downburst winds in some areas were in the 60 to 70 mile an hour range with speeds as high as 80 miles an hour estimated. Trees were downed across a broad area and resulted in the deaths of three people.

A powerful jet stream shifting southeast from the Pacific Northwest carved out a quick hitting winter storm system over New Mexico. A strong cold front that shifted south across eastern New Mexico provided the necessary cold air along with some weak upslope flow along the Johnson Mesa and the east slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The record warmth prior to this system limited any widespread significant travel impacts. However, areas along the Colorado border saw blizzard-like conditions and severe travel impacts. Visibilities were reduced to near zero at times over the area with winds gusting as high as 50 mph. A sharp band of wet snow also developed with this system in the area from Los Alamos to Santa Fe. Snowfall amounts of 3 to 8 inches were common within the band however impacts were again limited.
