A strong upper level storm system accompanied by a strong portion of the jetstream brought high winds to portions of central and eastern NM. These southwest winds reached nearly the entire state with high wind gusts being reported from Santa Fe to Albuquerque and through the highlands from Las Vegas to Clines Corners and Vaughn. Areas of blowing dust resulted from these winds, slightly dropping visibilities. The high winds also aided in the rapid spread of a new wildfire near Sapello, NM during the afternoon. There were no reports of damage or injuries directly related to the high winds. Meanwhile, severe weather broke out across far eastern NM along the TX border during the afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorm activity favored a dryline feature with individual storm cells producing mostly pea to nickel size hail and severe wind gusts. Several severe wind gusts were reported in portions of northeastern NM with one report of one inch size hail near Clovis. Nickel size hail was also reported in San Jon, NM. There were no reports of wind or hail damage.
