Valid 160121Z - 160315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 684 continues. SUMMARY...A couple of strong storms may continue to pose a risk for locally severe hail and wind while spreading toward the Texas South Plains through late evening. DISCUSSION...The most substantive convective development, including scattered embedded strong cells, has remained largely focused along a cold front nosing to the southeast and south of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Raton Mesa vicinity. Activity has been supported by southeasterly inflow of moist pre-frontal boundary-layer air characterized by mixed-layer CAPE up to 1000 J/kg, and this may maintain isolated to widely scattered strong storms at least into the 02-4Z time frame. A belt of 30-50 kt westerly flow in the 500-300 mb layer is contributing to sufficiently strong shear for occasional supercell structures. However, due to generally light easterly to southeasterly flow in lower levels, rightward/southward storm propagation is rather modest (around 20-25 kt). Even so, the environment probably remains marginally supportive of locally damaging surface gusts (aided by precipitation loading), in addition to severe hail, in the stronger storms. ...Kerr.. 09/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9zeCuNR9Z7xEJsrhMCf5JhkZnbxSBwnMfq-xuk44YqIZq4unzXS70UOiRmnRUE99G0S5RMFPB= 1BIkZPENiUQDJbqxY4$ for graphic product...
