DISCUSSION...A very moist yet cool air mass currently exists across much of the central Plains, with easterly surface winds over the High Plains of CO/NM. Visible satellite imagery shows breaks in the cloud fields, with temperatures gradually rising. Of note are the upper 70s F temperatures now into the Raton/Trinidad area, which when combined with mid 50s dewpoints results in very strong instability. Farther north toward Colorado Springs, stratus has locked in cool temperatures for much of the day, but recent observations indicate mixing is underway with winds out of the south around 15 mph. The moist upslope flow combined with heating will lead to at least isolated supercells forming off the high terrain, with initial hail threat. Continued heating as well as persistent moist easterly flow will support the hail/wind/tor threat extending eastward perhaps toward the Panhandles tonight. ...Jewell/Grams.. 07/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!92YtjGYTDbvUSOcp8chUiIFK3aRiCVdp8qDrcV6qQFEYKlWZC8ngUTIu0N5QclYbD59Dp9jYd= NuN_cfqh8boWnxlaM4$ for graphic product...
