What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Jun 2, 4:14 PM MDT	HAIL 0.5	Fabens, TX	HAIL MIXED WITH VERY HEAVY RAIN.

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Santa Teresa, NM (KEPZ), launched 12:00Z, 10.1 hours before the alert went out and 70 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS El Paso, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 2, 3:41 PM MDT, 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 3:41 PM MDT, 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE EL PASO TX/SANTA TERESA NM
341 PM MDT THU JUN 2 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS FAR WEST
TEXAS AND NEARBY NEW MEXICO THIS EVENING...MAINLY FOCUSED NEAR AND
EAST OF THE US-54 CORRIDOR. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM MAY AFFECT
PARTS OF THE CITY OF EL PASO AS WELL. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL BE
THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
DECREASE FRIDAY AS UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE SHIFTS TO THE EAST.
HOWEVER... ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN INCREASING
PRECIPITATION CHANCES EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
SPREADING FARTHER WEST.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE BORDERLAND REGION REMAINS STUCK BETWEEN A DEEP UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST...AND A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WHICH
SPRAWLS ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES. MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM UP
INTO THE AREA ON SOUTH-SOUTHWEST WINDS. THIS MOISTURE TAP IS
BECOMING A LITTLE ANEMIC...AND IS MAINLY FROM RECYCLED MOISTURE
FROM UPSTREAM CONVECTION OVER MEXICO THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE UPPER
LEVEL MOISTURE PLUME WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EAST/WEST THE NEXT
COUPLE DAYS...WHILE IT CONTINUES TO WEAKEN...UNLESS OF COURSE IT
CAN GET A RE-CHARGE OF SORTS...MORE ON THAT LATER.

IN THE MEANTIME...IT IS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN ANY STRONG EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES UPSTREAM IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS
AFTERNOON... BUT THERE IS BOUND TO BE SOME SORT OF WEAK VORTMAX
GIVEN THE CYCLONIC FLOW. 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSES SHOWED COOLER
TEMPS ALOFT...WITH -10C AT EMPALME... SUGGESTING A WEAK THERMAL
TROUGH AT THAT TIME SOUTH OF ARIZONA. ALSO NOTE 50-KNOT JET AT H5
NUDGES INTO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. VIS SATELLITE SHOWS WIDESPREAD
STREAKS OF ALTO-CU ACROSS WESTERN NEW MEXICO...POSSIBLY INDICATING
A WEAK AND ELONGATED VORT-LOBE. MOISTURE AT H7 CLEARLY INDICATES
THE DRYING TREND. 850 DEWPOINTS AND WINDS SHOW THE BEST GULF
MOISTURE IS BEING DEFLECTED TO OUR EAST.

SURFACE MESONET PLOTS SHOW DIFFUSE MOISTURE GRADIENT...WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE TEENS OVER GRANT/HIDALGO COUNTIES...30S ACROSS
ALL BUT THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF DONA ANA COUNTY... AND
LOW/MID 40S FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST. WIND FIELDS SUGGEST MODEST
CONVERGENCE LINE ROUGHLY LOCATED ALONG THE TULAROSA BASIN.

THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN INITIATED JUST OUTSIDE OUR CWA THIS
AFTERNOON... PRIMARILY OVER EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO AND ALL ALONG
THE SIERRA MADRES FROM CENTRAL CHIHUAHUA INTO DURANGO. THESE
STORMS HAVE SINCE MOVED TO WITHIN ABOUT 100 MI OF THE RIO GRANDE.
WEAKER CONVECTION HAS BEEN RECENTLY TRYING TO BUBBLE UP OVER SE EL
PASO AND FAR SOUTHERN HUDSPETH COUNTIES IN THE PAST 30 MINUTES.
ALSO OF NOTE IS THE LINE OF HIGH-LEVEL VIRGA ON RADAR STRETCHING
FROM THE BOOTHEEL UP INTO CENTRAL NM.

OVERALL...EXPECT MAIN CLUSTER OF STORMS IN MEXICO TO CONTINUE TO
SLIDE NORTHEAST. AS OUTFLOWS SPREAD AHEAD OF THESE STORMS...THEY
WILL LIKELY AID IN NEW DEVELOPMENT OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN
SOUTHERN HUDSPETH COUNTY...AND IN THE MOUNTAINS JUST SOUTHWEST OF
THE RIO GRANDE. THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THESE STORMS WILL BE ALONG THE
WESTERN EDGE OF MOISTER AIR...WITH THE WEST EDGE OF  SFC-700 MB
THETA-E RIDGE BEING A GOOD PROXY. THIS WOULD FAVOR KEEPING THE
STORMS FOCUSED EAST OF EL PASO...BUT AN ISOLATED CELL COULD STILL
AFFECT THE CITY LIMITS. ALSO...THE 40 DEWPOINTS ARE SURPRISINGLY
STILL HANGING ON AT SANTA TERESA AND CHAPARRAL.

BOTTOM LINE...10 POPS WEST EL PASO...20S FOR EAST EL PASO... 30S
TO 40S FOR EAST/SOUTHEAST EL PASO COUNTY INTO HUDSPETH...THE OTERO
MESA...AND CLIPPING THE SOUTHERN SACS. STRONG GUSTY WINDS WILL BE
THE MAIN THREAT...MAINLY DUE TO THE DRY LOW-LEVELS AS WINDS ALOFT
ARE NOT AS STRONG AS YESTERDAY. ISOLATED SEVERE-CRITERIA WINDS
FROM MICROBURSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING.

UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL SUPPORT SHIFTING THE WEAKENING MOISTURE
PLUME FARTHER EAST TOMORROW...WITH PRECIP MAINLY ISOLATED OVER
HUDSPETH AND OTERO COUNTIES...AND FAVORING THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

FOR THE WEEKEND...UPPER PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED...
ALLOWING UPPER FLOW TO BACK MORE TO THE SOUTH...PULLING THE
MOISTURE PLUME BACK FARTHER TO THE WEST. OF NOTE IS AN INVERTED
UPPER TROUGH/TUTT... REMNANTS OF AN OLD MCS... TRAVERSING THE GULF
OF MEXICO SOUTH OF THE UPPER RIDGE. MODELS BRING THIS FEATURE INTO
THE CENTRAL MEXICO-GULF COAST...AS THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS BUILDS
ACROSS NORTHEASTERN MEXICO. HOWEVER...ENHANCED UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL ADVECT INTO SOUTHERN TEXAS AND NEARBY MEXICO...
RESULTING IN A SURGE OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS OUR AREA LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT... AND AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION OVER THE SIERRA
MADRES DEEPER IN MEXICO THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL HELP RECHARGE
THE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE SOURCE...FOR LACK OF A BETTER PHRASE...
INCREASING PRECIP CHANCES OVER OUR AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...VALID 03/00Z-04/00Z.
VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD XCPT NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS MAINLY EAST
TO SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 15 KNOTS. EXPECT FEW-SCT080-120CB SCT-BKN250
4SM TSRA OVER FAR WEST TEXAS AND ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN OTERO
COUNTY UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE GULF COAST HAS PUSHED MOIST AIR INTO FAR
WEST TEXAS AND AREAS OF NEW MEXICO EAST OF THE RIO GRANDE. THIS WILL
ALLOW ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF
THE RIO GRANDE THIS EVENING...AND AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. HOWEVER...LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARE STILL RATHER
DRY...MAKING STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS AND DRY LIGHTNING A CONCERN WITH
ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND TOMORROW. AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE EXTENDING SOUTHWARD FROM A STORM PASSING BY TO OUR NORTH
WILL CAUSE STRONG WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 35 MPH
ACROSS THE GILA REGION THIS EVENING. THE STRONG WINDS ...COMBINED
WITH HUMIDITY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW TEENS AND FIRE DANGER
RATINGS OF VERY HIGH...WILL CAUSE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
MOIST AIR WILL SHIFT FURTHER EAST FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND WITH ONLY
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED STORMS EXPECTED ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS
AND EASTERN OTERO COUNTY...INCLUDING THE SACRAMENTO MOUNTAINS.
HUMIDITY THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL REMAIN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS TO LOW
TEENS WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE AND IN THE TEENS AND 20S FARTHER EAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND
WITH GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS.
