After several days of relatively drier air at the surface resulted in more gusty winds than wetting precipitation, a moist backdoor cold front that invaded eastern New Mexico early on June 26, 2021. This boundary tracked westward through the state before stronger westerly flow aloft stalled it along the east slopes of the central mountain chain. Behind this boundary, deeper moisture across the plains of New Mexico resulted in an uptick in storm coverage. With a destabilizing atmosphere and increasing wind shear, the environment was supportive for strong to severe thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. The greatest severe weather threat was across the southeastern portion of the area where these thunderstorms produced large hail and severe winds. A particularly strong thunderstorm near Logan, New Mexico produced several inches of hail accumulation while 70 mph wind speeds downed power lines, caused mobile home damage, and overturned a tractor trailer in the area.

Thunderstorm Wind. Estimated 60 to 70 mph winds from a severe thunderstorm moving eastward through Clovis downed power lines southeast of the area. Torrential rainfall also resulted in minor street flooding which caused traffic to be diverted for a short time period during the evening. Damages are estimated for the downed power lines.

A strong cold front moved into eastern New Mexico early May 9, 2021 and replenished low-level moisture across the area. A marginally unstable airmass was also in place across the plains which allowed for a severe weather threat that afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms first developed across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and then tracked eastward to southeastward onto lower elevations where they organized into linear segments. The strongest storms of the day were located across east central New Mexico. A late evening severe thunderstorm near Grady produced a microburst with estimated 70 to 90 mph winds which caused significant damage to trees, power lines, and roofs. Another storm near Logan produced one-inch hail.

Tornado. Three large power transmission poles were snapped and toppled to the ground, no less than three center pivot irrigation sections were flipped over or destroyed, several sections of range land fencing were damaged, and dozens of small yucca plants were uprooted. The tornado missed a nearby residence by only 300 yards and barely missed the nearby Palla West Dairy. Damage amounts are estimated for utility and property losses.

There is a power outage along Prince Street that is affecting traffic lights in the area of 7th and Mabry. Use caution in this area.

@LuisTheFoxxo such a great feeling when the manager tells you to not come in due to a power outage x3
