Watch issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development has been well underway across NM to far west TX, but recent GOES IR imagery and lightning trends have shown an uptick in intensity in a few cells. While not high-caliber by most measures, the environment across the region remains favorable for organized convection with 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE and effective shear values near 20 knots. This may support a few organized cells capable of posing a large hail risk. Dewpoint depressions across the region on the order of 40-50 F indicate that the boundary layer is fairly well mixed, and this is supported by 0-3 km lapse rates around 8-9 C/km per latest mesoanalysis estimates. This low-level thermodynamic environment, combined with PWAT values below 1 inch, is conducive for downbursts and perhaps outrunning outflows that may lead to thunderstorm clustering. Both of these scenarios would pose a risk for strong to severe gusts through the early evening hours prior to sunset and on the onset of nocturnal cooling. However, given the overall marginal convective environment, watch issuance is not expected. ...Moore/Thompson.. 09/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8I15NEgajGDzNHXpsjzcBchwrlVnQX1hidfOA4jkj0Sn5yhxlXl9FPhtigGRg2wjxXsTk27VC= 9c-99-F6G_InDWfZN0$ for graphic product...
