Sporadic strong gusts and isolated hail are possible with this activity. If an organized cluster can develop and be sustained into the High Plains, a watch may be needed later this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Convection has developed early this afternoon along the higher terrain of central NM into south-central CO. Some minor inhibition is still evident in objective analysis fields, but continued heating and modest ascent should erode inhibition over the next hour. As storms shift east off of higher terrain and into the adjacent High Plains, potential for isolated severe gusts and a few instances of hail are possible. Modest instability (around 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE) and 20-25 kt effective shear will be sufficient for transient cell organization. Very steep low-level lapse rates will support strong outflow, and some potential exists for clustering. Storms could develop into a forward propagating cluster via mergers and consolidating outflows. If this occurs, some increased risk of a swatch of severe gusts will be possible across parts of northeast NM into the OK/TX Panhandles. Depending on trends, a severe thunderstorm watch could become necessary later this afternoon, but this remains uncertain. ...Leitman/Grams.. 07/02/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6cOLrNNkvU1tZNOkJ5HPBJtlov2ilPddzs3tFhBarVlXBM_GUxBEtNxvlCN3nfnmhu1uUKTKz= TylDOrbBRc5fQcj0Og$ for graphic product...
