Areas affected...eastern New Mexico into west Texas

Concerning...Tornado Watch 241...

Valid 262303Z - 270200Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 241 continues.

SUMMARY...Corridors of severe potential are forecast to develop
through this evening. Damaging hail and wind, as well as a couple
tornadoes will be possible.

DISCUSSION...As of 23Z, several widely spaced areas of storms
extended from east-central NM southward toward the Davis Mtns, with
large hail the primary threat. While these storms are relatively far
apart, visible imagery and surface analysis show a wide area of
potential with a moist, unstable air mass in place.=20

A notable supercell over eastern Torrance County, NM will likely
remain severe as it moves east/southeast this evening. MLCAPE is
over 2000 J/kg in this area, with instability evidenced by towering
cumulus downstream. Damaging hail will remain likely, with
wind-driven hail possible if the storm grows/intensifies this
evening.

Other cells are attempting to develop into Eddy County NM, with a
substantial cumulus field noted, extending northwestward from
Roswell westward to the Sacramentos. Any cells that develop in this
region will have a very favorable environment for severe hail and
wind as they proceed east/southeast toward the Midland TX area.
Southeasterly low-level winds will maximize storm relative inflow
aiding storm longevity. Low-level shear will also be sufficient for
a couple tornadoes, especially for deviant/rightward motion off the
hodograph.
