The severe threat appears too isolated and/or localized to warrant a WW issuance. DISCUSSION...Convection is beginning to deepen beneath and immediately ahead of an upper low that is slowly drifting eastward across the southern Rockies. A plume of colder mid-level temperatures accompanying this upper low is advecting eastward, resulting in a steep mid-level lapse rate plume overspreading a destabilizing airmass. To the west of a remnant northwest-to-southeast oriented baroclinic boundary draped across the TX Panhandle, surface temperatures are rising into the 60s F amid upper 40s F dewpoints, contributing to over 500 J/kg MLCAPE given the aforementioned colder temperatures aloft. Given scant buoyancy and deep-layer vertical shear, the overall severe threat should remain isolated, hence no WW issuance planned. However, a severe gust or instance of hail may accompany one of the stronger storms that manages to materialize. Furthermore, deep-layer vertical oriented vorticity (including at low levels) does overlap with well over 100 J/kg 0-3 km CAPE in far eastern NM, where a landspout could form if a robust updraft can develop and take advantage of this environment. ...Squitieri/Gleason.. 05/06/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!60Cy4xhHGqtK2_d7rlhyCM42hJ_Jk0GJ-MnrkCQ6zMxq7L98GvmMP4htCZC-HSqo8FjDGWefW= JucKKz490VzrO6EnBY$ for graphic product...
