    Areas affected...eastern NM

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 061913Z - 062115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are possible this afternoon across
    eastern NM, posing a threat mainly for sporadic wind gusts. Watch
    issuance is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Diurnal mixing is supporting deeper convection
    initiation attempts along the Sacramento and Sandia-Manzano
    Mountains in central NM. A couple of anvils are beginning to spread east-southeastward, indicative of modest westerly upper-level flow
    impinging upon the area. Current analysis suggests some inhibition
    remains along and to the east of the terrain, which may temper
    short-term initiation attempts. Diurnal heating and mixing will
    support moistening atop deepening boundary layers, resulting in
    increased deep convection potential in the next few hours. Effective
    shear around 30-40 kts is anticipated this afternoon, yielding
    straight hodographs throughout the area. This could support
    semi-organized convection moving off of the higher terrain into
    eastern NM in the next few hours. Should this occur, localized
    stronger downdrafts could yield sporadic gusty winds amidst deep,
    well-mixed boundary layers. The overall threat will be tempered by
    diminishing potential buoyancy aloft, and watch issuance is not
    anticipated this afternoon and evening.
