What happened
The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
Another round of strong to severe thunderstorms developed over eastern New Mexico by late in the day on the 23rd as a late season upper level strong approached from the west and interacted with deep moisture and instability over the plains. The strongest storms produced mainly large hail and heavy rainfall. A second round of strong to severe thunderstorms redeveloped over the region after the first round of storms earlier in the evening. These storms continued to produce hail and heavy rainfall. Quarter size hail was reported around Raton. Rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches were reported over much of Union County. No damage or widespread flooding was observed.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 1:54 PM MST, 31 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 254 PM MDT MON JUN 23 2014 .SYNOPSIS... ACTIVE WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY MOSTLY FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EAST TO THE TEXAS BORDER. THIS INCLUDES THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF THE EAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT AND AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN THE FAR NORTHEAST. WE WILL THEN BEGIN TO SEE A GRADUAL DRYING TREND FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK WITH A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...THANKS TO A SLOWLY BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AREA. WHILE WE CANT RULE OUT STRAY SHOWERS OR STORMS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS OR FAR EASTERN PLAINS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE TIME AND AREA WILL BE RAINFREE FROM THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY. && .DISCUSSION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FIRING OVER THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND SPILLING ONTO THE EASTERN HIGHLANDS. THEY ARE BEHAVING SO FAR BUT WE EXPECT THEM TO GROW IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE EVENING. IN FACT THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY MAY OCCUR AROUND AND AFTER DARK ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN PLAINS...PROBABLY LASTING TO MIDNIGHT OR LATER. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN. A FEW SHOWERS ARE TRYING TO FORM OVER THE GILA REGION THIS PM BUT WILL BE MORE WIND PRODUCERS THAN RAIN MAKERS. ANOTHER ACTIVE DAY ON TUESDAY...BUT LIKELY LESS COVERAGE THAN TODAY. ANY SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE FOCUSED IN THE NORTHEAST. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL AGAIN BE EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. ANY HOPES FOR A LITTLE RAIN IN THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY WILL HINGE ON MOIST OUTFLOWS POURING THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN PASSES AND CANYONS TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM A FEW DEGREES AND BE MOSTLY ABOVE NORMAL TUESDAY. SOME DRYING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND A STORM PASSES TO OUR NORTH. WEDNESDAY WILL STILL PRODUCE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY OVER THE EAST. BUT THEN THE HIGHER HEIGHTS WILL SUPPRESS THE CONVECTION WHILE THE THE TROUGH WILL TRY AND SCOUR MUCH OF THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE STATE BY THE END OF THE WEEK. WE CANNOT RULE OUT ISOLATED STORMS ANY AFTERNOON OR EVENING FROM THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY BUT THEY WILL BE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE DRY A VAST MAJORITY OF THIS TIME. LONG RANGE MODELS BRING A BACK DOOR FRONT TO THE EAST IN THE LATER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY TIME PERIOD. THIS COULD PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES. CHJ && .FIRE WEATHER... A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED SOUTH THROUGH THE EASTERN PLAINS TODAY. OVERNIGHT THROUGH THIS MORNING A SHALLOW LAYER OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PUSHED INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY...MUCH OF IT HAS BEEN MODIFIED/MIXED OUT INTO THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE THROUGH OUT THE DAY. AS A RESULT...ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE OF DRY THUNDERSTORMS WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS WHILE THE BEST CHANCES AND GREATER COVERAGE FOR WETTING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS ACROSS THE EASTERN PLAINS. THE MOST INTENSE PERHAPS SEVERE STORMS WILL BE ACROSS THE FAR EAST CENTRAL PLAINS THIS EVENING. TOMORROW MODERATE WEST WINDS ALOFT WILL DOMINATE WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ALLOWING FOR ISOLATED HIGH BASED DRY STORMS WILL PREVAIL. BEST CHANCES FOR WET THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FOUND TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS. NO CRITICAL FIRE VALUES REACHED TODAY AND TOMORROW. HOWEVER...A FEW HOURS OF SUPER HAINES CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE CHUSKA MOUNTAINS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...THURSDAY AFTERNOON A FEW HOURS OF SUPER HAINES CONDITIONS DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN MOUNTAINS... THE BLACK RANGE NORTH TO THE SAN MATEO MOUNTAINS...THE GALLINAS MOUNTAINS...THE MAGDALENA MOUNTAINS AND NORTH TOWARDS MOUNT TAYLOR. OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES ARE POOR TO FAIR WEST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND FAIR TO GOOD TO EXCELLENT FROM THE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS EAST TOWARDS THE TEXAS STATE LINE. VENT RATES GOOD TODAY ACROSS THE WEST AND TRENDING TOWARDS GOOD ALL AREAS BY WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST-NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY...INCREASING THE DRY WESTERLIES AREAWIDE AND SHUNTING LOW LEVEL GULF MOISTURE EAST INTO TEXAS. EXTENDED RANGE MODELS INDICATE A WEAK UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE ON SATURDAY. MODEL INDICATES MOIST SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW PATTERNS OVER TEXAS...PERHAPS ALONG EDGING INTO NEW MEXICO ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER AND ALONG THE TX/NM LINE. EXTENDED RANGE MODELS TRENDING TOWARDS THE BUILDING OF A UPPER LEVEL SUBTROPICAL HIGH OVER NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS ABOUT 7 DAYS FROM NOW. THIS PATTERN WOULD ALLOW FOR INCREASED MOISTURE INFLUX INTO THE REGION. 01 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE SHRA AND TSRA ARE EXPECTED EAST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN THIS AFTN/EVE WITH STRONG TO SEVERE CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PLAINS. KTCC AND KROW HAVE THE BEST CHANCES OF BEING IMPACTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON. VCSH FOR OTHER TAF SITES EXCEPT FOR KFMN AND KGUP BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE VIRGA SHOWERS WEST OF THE CENTRAL MTN CHAIN. EXPECT STRONG MICRO BURST/OUTFLOW WINDS FROM VIRGA SHOWERS. BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN CIGS/VSBY POSSIBLE. MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS MAY PERSIST AFTER 06Z TONIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO EARLY MORNING HOURS.
