WW issuance may be needed in the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a lone thunderstorm evolving over San Miguel county in New Mexico at this time. The storm is occurring along what appears to be a cold frontal surge, per surface obs and visible satellite imagery, where daytime heating has boosted mixed-layer CAPE to near 1000 J/kg. Extending east-southeastward from this storm, along and south of the frontal surge and within an axis of instability that increases to 1500 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE over the Texas South Plains, an increasingly agitated cu field is apparent within visible imagery, supporting CAM guidance that suggests more widespread storm development over the next few hours. As enhanced (40-plus kt) mid-level west-northwesterly flow spreads eastward out of New Mexico atop low-level south-southwesterlies observed over the South Plains, a kinematic environment supportive of organized/rotating storms is apparent. As storms evolve, potential for large hail, and locally gusty winds, will increase.=20 While the largest hail will be associated with any more isolated/rotating storms, wind risk would maximize with any upscale-growing clusters of storms which may gradually evolve and spread east-southeastward across the area. The anticipated convective evolution suggests that WW issuance may be needed before 4 PM CDT/3PM MDT. ...Goss/Guyer.. 09/11/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6h8MTlgpB_dG812sIuKiuGLyr0jAWy7vEtR4QSPdrw0AER91CVqhnT5K-JyR6ZVgQB3JiOr_s= t6dL1ZoDK3CDAPHsvw$ for graphic product...
