The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
Higher moisture moved into eastern New Mexico early on May 25th behind a backdoor cold front. This added moisture combined with lift ahead of a weakening upper low over Utah resulting in the development of scattered showers and storms along and east of the central mountain chain. Several of these storms became strong to severe with one producing quarter size hail near Tierra Monte in the east slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and another producing a tornado near Floyd in western Roosevelt County and quarter to ping pong ball size hail between Cannon Air Force Base and downtown Clovis. Storms across eastern New Mexico mostly tapered off around sunset while the convectively enhanced backdoor front pushed west through the gaps of the central mountain chain.
Key Words: Severe Thunderstorm Winds, Large Hail, Tornado, Funnel Cloud.
Another round of showers and storms developed and moved across north central and eastern New Mexico during the afternoon and evening hours of May 26th due to higher surface moisture in place combining with added lift and instability from the upper level disturbance moving overhead. Penny to golf ball size hail was observed at several locations, a brief tornado was observed near Montezuma northeast of Las Vegas, and damaging straight line winds resulted in a flipped and overturned an 18-wheeler trailer near Forrest in southern Quay County. Storms exited east into Texas around sunset.

NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 25, 1:51 PM MST, 49 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 251 PM MDT Sun May 25 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, FIRE WEATHER... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 201 PM MDT Sun May 25 2025 - Storms in eastern New Mexico today will turn strong to severe with locally heavy rainfall, large hail, and damaging winds being the main threats. - Moisture will continue to increase over eastern New Mexico in the week ahead with daily rounds of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms will become strong to severe, mainly from the central mountain chain eastward. Some gusty and dry storms producing minimal rainfall are also forecast between the Continental Divide and the central mountain chain, especially during the middle to latter half of the week. && .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday night) Issued at 201 PM MDT Sun May 25 2025 The backdoor cold front has invaded northeast NM and even pushed into east central areas with Roswell also indicating a northerly wind shift and an abrupt spike in dewpoint. The front was responsible for copious low stratus clouds in northeastern areas which have since burned off, and now the boundary is responsible for convective initiation over the ridge of the Sangre de Cristos. These showers and thunderstorms will continue to grow upscale with strong to severe cells taking shape as they move off of the east slopes and into the adjacent highlands and high plains through the evening. Large hail and damaging winds would be the primary threats in this area. A secondary area of initiation will be possible on the leading edge of the front (on the north side of the surface low) near the triple point where the dryline is intersecting close to the NM-TX border. Within the presence of the front and triple point, the tornado threat would be slightly higher, but this should mostly reside beyond our border into west TX this evening. Showers and storms will dwindle through the mid evening hours, but a couple of CAMs, the FV3 in particular, indicate that another round will initiate off of the Sangres and roll eastward into the plains late tonight into early Monday morning. These nocturnal cells would be initiated by a weak shortwave trough lifting northeast into NM tonight. Otherwise, the impacts for tonight will be focused on widespread low stratus clouds over eastern zones. As the cool, moist airmass surges westward, a gusty canyon wind will also develop with gusts of 40 to 45 mph impacting the ABQ metro. For Memorial Day, trailing shortwave energy will cross into NM as the weakening parent trough moves across CO. Higher dewpoints that make it into the Rio Grande valley tonight will scour out through early Monday afternoon, and destabilization is modeled to occur over the eastern plains. Dewpoints in the 40's and 50's would stay anchored over northeastern to east central zones where another round of convection with strong to severe cells is forecast during the late afternoon and evening. A few drier cells producing minimal rainfall would dot the western edges of this area with dry lightning and gusty winds accompanying. Temperatures would remain cool in far northeast corner of NM due to the lingering cooling effects from the front and stubborn stratus while remaining areas climb into the 70's and 80's. Mesoscale cold pools will help shove moisture and an easterly wind component into the Rio Grande valley and parts of northwestern NM Monday night as convection slowly dwindles. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 201 PM MDT Sun May 25 2025 The moisture push westward Tuesday morning would bring transient 40's dewpoints into the Rio Grande, but it would mix back westward quickly to the east by early afternoon. This will spawn some high-based virga and dry storms over the Tusas/Jemez and Continental Divide Tuesday afternoon while more efficient rainers develop along and just east of the central mountain chain. There would be a reduction in wind speeds aloft as a weak ridge moves overhead, and this would slow storm motion while reducing shear for strong/severe storms. This could raise concerns for burn scar storms as slower motions would likely result from the lighter winds aloft. Thereafter, a typical late May pattern will ensue with low layer moisture periodically sloshing westward overnight before mixing eastward into the late morning and afternoon hours. Wednesday was looking to be a more active day on past model runs, and while overall QPF has lessened, it does still look like scattered cells (30-50% coverage) would develop east of the central mountain chain with more numerous cells over the Sangre de Cristos and Sacramentos. This is where the wetter and more efficient rain- producing storms would occur with only occasional dry storms developing between the Continental Divide and the Rio Grande valley. Into Thursday, Friday, and Saturday winds will remain light aloft as the main upper level feature will be a cut-off low off of the Baja peninsula by Thursday and the remainder of the week. This low will induce more widespread synoptic easterly flow over NM which will keep moisture pushing westward. Some of the blended guidance in this time range appears overcooked with regards to POPs, but dry storms and virga would become more likely west of the central mountain chain as this low wanders aimlessly. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1206 PM MDT Sun May 25 2025 Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions are in place over most of northern and central New Mexico, except in the very far northeastern corner of the state where low stratus clouds will remain persistent behind a cold front. This front will cause showers and thunderstorms to develop as it moves up the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo mountains this afternoon, and storms will then move east northeastward into the eastern plains through the evening. A few storms will be strong to severe with large hail and damaging downburst winds. Elsewhere dry conditions with light to moderate breezes are forecast through the early evening. Showers and storms in northeastern New Mexico will mostly come to an end by the mid to late evening, but a few will periodically redevelop through the late overnight hours. Low clouds will also expand and redevelop over much of eastern New Mexico late tonight through Monday morning with widespread MVFR to IFR ceilings. Also, gusty east canyon winds will surge into KABQ with gusts near 35 kt potentially necessitating an Airport Weather Warning this evening. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 201 PM MDT Sun May 25 2025 Prevailing winds have not been as strong today, but breezy conditions are still occurring, even in western and central areas of NM where very low humidity and warm temperatures are prevailing. In contrast, the eastern half of NM is getting overtaken by a front that will continue to cool temperatures and usher in more moisture. Showers and storms will be focused over northeastern to east central zones this evening and overnight with the moisture advancing toward the Rio Grande by daybreak Monday. This will be a common theme for the week ahead, as low layer moisture will periodically advance westward overnight before retreating eastward in the daytime. So, the two halves of NM will be defined by warm, dry conditions in the western half and moist, stormy weather in the eastern half. By the middle of the week, and more-so in the latter part of the week, moisture will push closer to the Continental Divide of NM, leading to an increase in showers and storms there. However, many of the storms on the western fringe of the moisture will remain inefficient at producing rainfall, so new lightning ignitions will be an increasing threat, especially with fuels being driest in these western zones of NM. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
