A long-lived, cyclic supercell gradually organized over the southern fringe of the Sangre de Cristo Range, taking nearly two hours just to move completely out of the mountains before it headed SE across the high plains and tablelands of northeastern New Mexico. This big, broad and moderately rotating wall cloud represented the storm’s peak organization. Unlike another supercell to its northeast, this one never produced a tornado, but still struck beautiful poses as it roamed southeastward, passing directly over several of the few towns in this sparsely settled area and dropping copious hail.
