Valid 160616Z - 160745Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 684 continues. SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat will likely persist beyond the the scheduled 07z expiration of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 684. A local watch extension in time and area may be needed. DISCUSSION...One notable severe thunderstorm was located over Lea County of southeast NM at 0610z, while other episodically strong/severe storms were located farther east into the Texas South Plains. These storms were moving southeast in advance of a cold front, and within an environment characterized by 35-40 kts of effective shear and MUCAPE of around 1000 J/kg. With greater instability and more supportive mid-level lapse rates across the NM portion of the watch, storms over Lea County, NM and adjacent areas of West Texas are most likely to remain severe over the next few hours. This scenario is supported by recent hi-res guidance, and an extension in time and area may be needed for WW 684 prior to expiration at 07z. Storms farther east across the West Texas portion of the watch will remain within an environment of weaker instability, but may still briefly intensify to strong/near severe levels. ...Bunting/Grams.. 09/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9OtHDbLpklMbk4cOo2QyUUJMXWKWRDG7gM3RPtEi3YbPxF2Y7n8ojNwHa4h5j0j-6oQle_slH= 08vsePDUjB0YEUWn24$ for graphic product...
