DISCUSSION...Regional Doppler radars and infrared satellite imagery are depicting a steady increase in strong convection across northeastern New Mexico. This is developing in response to outflow boundaries from earlier convection farther west impinging upon moist surface-850mb flow from the southeast, along with deeper layer forcing from a mid-level vortmax situated over southeast Colorado. Effective bulk shear parameters are favorable for organized and some back-building storms that will tend to increase the duration of high rainfall rates for parts of the outlook area. Mixed layer CAPE of 1500-2500 J/kg and PWs exceeding one inch over portions of the TX/OK Panhandles per recent SPC mesoanalysis will produce a favorable environment for cells with strong updrafts and high rainfall rates. Recent CAM guidance is in relatively good agreement on potraying a well developed MCS tracking across the region through the evening hours, with the best potential for slow cell motions before 3Z, and then the complex will likely become more progressive while still maintaining heavy downpours. HREF neighborhood probabilities also indicate a 30% chance of both 1-hour QPF exceeding flash flood guidance and 2+ inch hourly rainfall rates, mainly across western portions of the outlook area. Parts of the region also had 1-3 inches of rainfall over the past 24 hours, and those areas are more vulnerable to additional heavy rain. Flash flooding is considered possible through 5Z.
