What happened
The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
Strong to severe thunderstorms that developed over eastern New Mexico and western Texas pushed slowly south through the afternoon of the 15th. High pressure aloft over western New Mexico provided north to south steering flow across the state. One thunderstorm in particular deviated from the general north to south flow and moved southwest into Curry County from west Texas. This storm was particularly severe and produced funnel clouds and very large hail in the area from Pleasant Hill to Clovis.

DEEPER PW VALUES HAVE CONTINUED TO PUSH NORTHWARD INTO AZ...AND HAVE EFFECTIVELY RELEGATED THE DRIEST AIR INDICATED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY TO THE GREAT BASIN AND WRN CO. FOR NEW MEXICO VALUES HAVEN/T COME UP TOO MUCH BUT THEY HAVEN/T DECREASED EITHER...ALTHOUGH DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIR PERSISTS IN THE NW. MODELS STILL INDICATE THETA E VALUES INCREASING OVER THE WEST AND CENTRAL FRIDAY AND MORESO SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. THEREFORE THE TREND OF AN INCREASINGLY ACTIVE OR WETTER PERIOD REMAINS ON TAP. HIGH TEMPERATURES TO GENERALLY REMAIN A BIT ABOVE AVERAGE ALTHOUGH DIP BELOW IN THE WEST SUNDAY. AIR MASS BECOMING MORE AND MORE UNSTABLE IN THE EAST CENTRAL PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON. SHORT TERM MODELS DON/T SEEM TO INDICATE MUCH ORGANIZATION TO THE PRECIPITATION AREAS THEY FORECAST TONIGHT BUT THE EAST AND SOUTHWEST STILL SEEM MOST FAVORED. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY FOR NEXT WEEK AS THE INCOMING TROUGH HAS TO MUSCLE IT/S WAY EASTWARD INTO THE RIDGE. THERE MAY BE A DRIER PERIOD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK BEFORE THE PATTERN REVERTS TO A WETTER ONE. && .FIRE WEATHER... DRIER AIR ABOVE MOUNTAIN TOP LEVEL CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO NORTHWEST AND NORTH-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON.

MAIN DIFFERENCE WILL BE EVEN LESS ACTIVITY OVER THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH-CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS MID AND UPPER LEVEL DRY AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER IN FROM THE NW. OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES WILL FALL OFF SOMEWHAT SATURDAY MORNING WITH DECREASING DEWPOINTS BUT THE DRIER AIR WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO DROP BELOW RECENT LEVELS...RESULTING IN RECOVERIES SIMILAR TO RECENT MORNINGS. MID LEVEL MONSOON MOISTURE WORKING AROUND THE UPPER HIGH WILL COMBINE WITH A BACKDOOR FRONT SATURDAY TO INCREASE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AREA WIDE. BEST CHANCES FOR HEAVIER RAINFALL IS EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AS SELY SURFACE FLOW FAVORS THESE AREAS. ACTIVE DAY ALSO EXPECTED SUNDAY WILL VERY LITTLE CHANGE IN PRECIPITABLE WATER AMOUNTS AND STORM STEERING FLOW. UPPER HIGH CENTER INCHES EASTWARD MONDAY BUT LATEST MODEL FORECASTS ARE NO LONGER SHOWING ENOUGH MOVEMENT EWD TO DEVELOP A DEEP SOUTHERLY MONSOON FLOW OUT OF OLD MEXICO. STILL PLENTY OF MOISTURE WRAPPING UP INTO THE UPPER HIGH CIRCULATION FOR DAILY ROUNDS OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEK...HOWEVER. STEERING FLOW WILL BE LIGHT WITH THE CENTER OF THE UPPER HIGH OVERHEAD THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE GREATEST THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT EXPECTED ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN AS WELL AS IN/OVER WEST-CENTRAL AND SW AREAS.
