The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
The last in a series of four days of thunderstorms impacted the eastern New Mexico as the core of a slow-moving upper level storm system shifted over the region. The coverage of storms diminished on the fourth day. However, penny to nickel sized hail was reported along the U.S. Highway 70 corridor around Kenna and Elkins.

Area forecast discussion, May 25, 5:08 PM MST, 1 hour 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBUQUERQUE NM 608 PM MDT SUN MAY 25 2014 .UPDATE... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH CANCELLED FOR LINCOLN...DE BACA...AND QUAY COUNTIES...BUT CONTINUES FOR CHAVES...CURRY AND ROOSEVELT TIL 10 PM MDT THIS EVENING. STATEMENT OUT...FRESH PUBLIC FORECAST ZONES TO FOLLOW SHORTLY. SHY && .PREV DISCUSSION...556 PM MDT SUN MAY 25 2014... .AVIATION... 00Z TAF CYCLE UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER NRN NM/SRN CO EARLY THIS EVENING AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE LITTLE OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED -SHRAS/-TSRA AND MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE ALL AREAS OVERNIGHT AS ATMOSPHERE REMAINS MOIST AND SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE. STRONG NW WINDS ALOFT ON BACKSIDE OF UPPER LOW TO LIKELY RESULT IN A MORE ORGANIZED BAND OF -SHRA/-TSRAS AND MVFR CIGS FROM W-CENTRAL NM SEWD INTO SOCORRO AND LINCOLN COUNTIES DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. UPR LOW SLIDES SWED MONDAY MORNING WITH -SHRA/-TSRA ACTIVITY PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AND ALONG AND EAST OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN. 33 && .PREV DISCUSSION...300 PM MDT SUN MAY 25 2014... .SYNOPSIS... UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON TO MEANDER ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY BEFORE EXITING INTO OKLAHOMA BY TUESDAY. PLENTIFUL MOISTURE LINGERING...WITH POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS OVER AT LEAST PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST...SOUTH CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO THROUGH THIS EVENING. DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING TO ABOVE AVERAGE...ALTHOUGH MAINLY MOUNTAIN SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY FIRE IN THE AFTERNOONS. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY COULD LEAD TO A SURGE OF MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH...THUS INCREASING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE THIS WEEK. && .DISCUSSION... UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER NORTHWEST NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON...WITH CIRCULATION BECOMING QUITE ELONGATED AS ADDITIONAL ENERGY DROPS INTO SOUTHEAST ARIZONA. PONDERING WHAT THE POSSIBILITY MIGHT BE OF A SECOND CIRCULATION DEVELOPING OVER THE BOOTHEEL...ALTHOUGH MODELS HAVEN/T BEEN INDICATING THAT SCENARIO WAS LIKELY...PREFERRING TO KEEP THE ENTIRE THING INTACT. THE LOW TRACK IS STILL RELATIVELY CONSISTENT...WITH IT DRIFTING INTO SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO THEN NOODLING SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO TONIGHT AND MEMORIAL DAY BEFORE EXITING ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE PATH APPEARS TO INCH SLIGHTLY SOUTHWARD WITH EACH RUN...AND THE SYSTEM CENTER NOW PASSES OVER SANTA ROSA TO TUCUMCARI ON MONDAY. WRAP AROUND PRECIPITATION WILL FAVOR THE NORTHWEST THIRD TO HALF TONIGHT...THEN THE NORTHEAST HALF MONDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF MONDAY NIGHT. IN THE MEANTIME...STILL POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THROUGH THE EVENING OVER THE EAST CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST PLAINS AND SOUTH CENTRAL MOUNTAINS AS A SURFACE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO PUSH WEST NORTHWESTWARD. GUIDANCE IS GENERALLY WARMER FOR TONIGHT/S LOWS...DESPITE HOW MUCH COOLER IT WAS LAST NIGHT. H7 TEMPERATURES REMAIN WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF FREEZING AGAIN NORTH CENTRAL WITH THE NAM COLDER...SO POTENTIAL FOR SOME MEAGER AND SPOTTY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. A RAPID WARMUP IN H7 TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND MORESO TUESDAY...SO EXPECT HIGHS NEAR TO ABOVE AVERAGE BY TUESDAY. LINGERING MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR HIGH TERRAIN SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON TUESDAY. LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE EAST BY TUESDAY NIGHT...LEADING TO WHAT COULD BE A MORE ACTIVE DAY ALONG THE CENTRAL MT CHAIN AND ADJACENT EAST SLOPES WEDNESDAY...DESPITE THE REGION BEING UNDERNEATH A SHARP RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT. WETTER WEATHER COULD MAKE AN ENCORE APPEARANCE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. EXTENDED MODELS DEVELOP A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER NEW MEXICO...ALLOWING A SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE TO SWING OVER THE STATE. AT THE SAME TIME...MID AND HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTS OUR WAY...AT LEAST THE GFS INDICATES SOME OF WHICH COULD ORIGINATE FROM WHAT/S CURRENTLY HURRICANE AMANDA. THIS DOESN/T LINGER FOR LONG...SO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND LOOKS TO BE DRIER. && .FIRE WEATHER... MOISTURE TO DECREASE A LITTLE ON MONDAY AND MUCH MORE SO ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER SURGE OF MOISTURE FOR THE END OF THE WEEK FOLLOWED BY DRYING NEXT WEEKEND. THE CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIVE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE DRIFTING ACROSS NORTHERN NM LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT THEN HEAD TOWARD EAST CENTRAL NM THROUGH MONDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THE MAJORITY OF ANY MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION WILL BE ACROSS THE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST PLAINS...WITH MORE SCATTERED LIGHT TO MODERATE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTH AND WEST. A BAND OF RAIN IS SHOWN BY MOST MODELS TO DEVELOP OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION TONIGHT THEN MOVE SE TOWARD THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE VALLEY MONDAY MORNING. THE HIGH TERRAIN WILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR A LITTLE SNOW AT THIS TIME BUT LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY ACCUMULATION. GFS AND LOCAL WRF MOST BULLISH WITH QPF WITH THE LOCAL MODEL MUCH FASTER...HAVING RAIN OUT OF THE ABQ AREA BEFORE DAYBREAK...WHILE THE GFS IS JUST GETTING IT TO ABQ AT THAT TIME. OTHER MODELS KEEP THE BULK OF THEIR MEAGER QPF CLOSER TO THE AZ BORDER. TEMPS WILL TREND UP SEVERAL DEGREES MONDAY AND MIN RH VALUES DOWN A LITTLE BUT OVERALL TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION WILL TREND DOWN AS WELL...AND EVEN SOME DRY AND GUSTY ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE IN THE WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE COVERAGE IN THE EAST WILL BE DECENT WITH WETTING SHOWERS. WINDS WILL TREND UP AS WELL AS THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL NM. A HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER HIGH WILL DEVELOP OVER THE REGION TUESDAY TRENDING TEMPERATURES UP TOWARD NORMAL WITH A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN MINIMUM RH VALUES. MAX RECOVERIES WILL BE RELEGATED BY BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE FROM THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST. HAINES WILL ALSO TREND BACK TO 6 FOR THE WEST ON TUE AND WED. WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT THOUGH SO NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE WARMEST DAY OF THE WEEK...BUT MAYBE NOT THE DRIEST. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS TUESDAY FROM REMNANT MOISTURE THAT GETS RECYCLED. RETURN FLOW MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO CREEP INTO EASTERN NM WEDNESDAY. A FEW STORMS COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE EAST SLOPES OF THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN CHAIN ONTO THE EASTERN HIGH PLAINS. RETURN FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THURSDAY AS THE UPPER HIGH SHIFTS EAST. THIS PATTERN LOOKS FAVORABLE AGAIN FOR MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS AS MID LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES FROM THE SOUTH AS WELL. A POSSIBLE TROPICAL REMNANT IS ALSO SHOWN BY SOME LONG RANGE GUIDANCE TO MOVE UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE HIGH AND ACROSS NM FRIDAY. THIS WOULD CERTAINLY DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD WETTING RAINFALL ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPS. A DRYING AND WARMING TREND LOOKS TO DEVELOP BEHIND THIS MOISTURE SURGE NEXT WEEKEND. 40 && .ABQ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHY
