    Areas affected...southeast New Mexico across the South Plains and
    into parts of northwest Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 682...

    Valid 120036Z - 120230Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 682
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Widely scattered strong to severe storms producing hail or
    damaging gusts may persist for a few hours this evening, primarily
    within severe thunderstorm watch 682.

    DISCUSSION...Storms currently extend from southeast NM into
    northwest TX along an east-west oriented cold front. Surface and
    objective analyses indicate around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE south of the
    front, extending southward toward the Concho Valley. This
    instability plume is relatively limited, and located well west of
    I-35. The 00Z FWD sounding shows a relatively deep mixed layer, with
    very little CAPE despite precipitable water near 1.75". Therefore,
    although modest northwest flow exists over the region, storms
    approaching the eastern edge of WW 682 are not expected to warrant
    further watches.

    To the west, outflow appears to be increasing as the NM activity
    intersects the cold front. Here, mid and high-level flow is
    stronger, with steeper midlevel lapse rates as well. Given these
    factors, and 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE downstream, a corridor of damaging
    winds may materialize over the next few hours. The bulk of this
    threat should remain within the southern parts of WW 682, but trends
    will be monitored for possible southward extensions in space and/or
    time.
