    Mesoscale Discussion 1433
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0335 PM CDT Wed Jul 05 2023

    Areas affected...much of southeast Colorado into northeast New
    Mexico and the far western OK/TX Panhandles

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 052035Z - 052230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...At least isolated supercells capable of very large hail,
    damaging gusts and a brief tornado threat are expected to form in
    the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A very moist yet cool air mass currently exists across
    much of the central Plains, with easterly surface winds over the
    High Plains of CO/NM. Visible satellite imagery shows breaks in the
    cloud fields, with temperatures gradually rising. Of note are the
    upper 70s F temperatures now into the Raton/Trinidad area, which
    when combined with mid 50s dewpoints results in very strong
    instability. Farther north toward Colorado Springs, stratus has
    locked in cool temperatures for much of the day, but recent
    observations indicate mixing is underway with winds out of the south
    around 15 mph.

    The moist upslope flow combined with heating will lead to at least
    isolated supercells forming off the high terrain, with initial hail
    threat. Continued heating as well as persistent moist easterly flow
    will support the hail/wind/tor threat extending eastward perhaps
    toward the Panhandles tonight.
