The last bout delivered an impressive batch of widespread heavy rainfall and scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. Large hail was common with severe storms across the eastern plains, particularly around De Baca, Roosevelt, and Curry counties where golf ball to tennis ball size hail was common. Heavy rainfall amounts between 2 and 4 inches were common
