Areas affected...Extreme northeast NM into the TX/OK Panhandles...TX
South Plains...and southwest OK

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 485...

Valid 132323Z - 140100Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 485
continues.

SUMMARY...A supercell capable of very large hail and possibly a
tornado may move into parts of northeast NM and adjacent parts of
the TX/OK Panhandles. Farther south/southeast, isolated severe wind
and hail remain possible into parts of the TX South Plains and
southwest OK.

DISCUSSION...At 2315 UTC, an intense supercell is moving slowly
southward across Baca County, CO, and this cell may continue into
parts of extreme northeast NM and adjacent portions of the TX/OK
Panhandles into this evening. The environment across northern
portions of WW 485 remains quite favorable for supercells, with
MLCAPE in excess of 2500 J/kg and effective shear of 40+ kt. Very
large hail and localized severe gusts will be the primary threats if
this supercell persists southward, though a tornado cannot be ruled
out given the magnitude of instability and low-level moisture across
the region.=20

Farther south, less intense convection is ongoing near Amarillo,
where numerous outflows have stabilized the environment somewhat.
Deep-layer flow/shear is weaker across the southern part of WW 485,
but a few stronger cells capable of localized severe gusts and/or
hail will remain possible into early evening.=20

To the southeast of WW 485, another isolated cell developed earlier
across western north TX, which has moved into southwest OK. This
cell has produced a notable outflow, which could result in strong to
severe gusts well removed from the storm. An additional strong storm
or two may develop within a very hot and unstable environment on the
periphery of this outflow, which in turn could also pose a threat of
isolated severe gusts and perhaps some hail. With the threat in this
area expected to remain isolated, additional watch issuance is
unlikely in the short term.
