Discussion...The flash flood threat across the southern Rockies and High Plains will continue for at least another 3-6 hours.=20 Latest radar mosaic imagery depicts a couple of clusters of slow-moving storms - one near Santa Fe, NM and another extending from southeastern AZ eastward toward the El Paso, TX vicinity.=20 The storms continued to persist amid a pocket of cool air aloft and mid-level troughing across the state that was likely continuing to force ascent for isolated to scattered thunderstorm activity. Additionally, kinematic fields aloft (with less than 5 knots mean flow aloft) and abundant moisture (1+ inch PW values) were contributing to wetting rainfall and localized rain rates exceeding 1 inch/hr at times. These rates were falling on sensitive ground conditions and local burn scars, enhancing runoff and flash flood potential. The 00Z HREF continues to depict scattered thunderstorm activity propagating slowly across the discussion area for the next several hours. This scenario meshes well with ongoing observations - especially in northeastern New Mexico where upscale growth/organization should allow for storms to persist and propagate slowly southeastward over the next 3-6 hours despite an unfavorable time of day. Flash flood potential will likely continue to be driven by the presence of newer updrafts/storms near ongoing clusters through at least 11Z/5a MDT or so.
