Watch issuance appears unlikely at this time. DISCUSSION...Convection has recently formed over the higher terrain of the Raton Pass/Mesa vicinity and eastward into parts of northeastern NM and southeastern CO. Although modestly forced, this activity is occurring along a weak surface lee trough. Current expectations are for these thunderstorms to move generally east-southeastward through the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening. Surface temperature-dewpoint spreads of 25-30+ F are present with a deeply/well-mixed boundary layer. Occasional strong to severe downdraft winds may occur with the more robust cores, especially if thunderstorms can congeal into a small cluster or two. Isolated hail also appears possible. MLCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg and deep-layer shear of 20-30 kt are somewhat marginal to support more than an isolated severe threat. Therefore, watch issuance will probably not be needed. ...Gleason/Thompson.. 05/03/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6hiOoDSus2qldGl9OjQoWghiVSh1zucT6yPSmJJAz5FlCIkaY3VIEd7tU3VzlzAe7kX4IZLyP= zfIlBX3gRSEri8ksj0$ for graphic product...
