    Areas affected...Eastern NM into parts of west TX

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 152010Z - 152215Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A gradual increase in storm coverage and intensity is
    expected through late afternoon. Eventual watch issuance is
    possible, though timing is uncertain.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have recently developed near/east of the
    Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northeast NM. Storm coverage is
    expected to increase through late afternoon across northeast NM and
    eventually into east-central NM, as a midlevel shortwave near the
    Four Corners region continues to impinge upon a gradually
    destabilizing environment. Modest instability (MLCAPE of 500-1000
    J/kg) and effective shear of around 30 kt are marginally sufficient
    for a few organized storms through the afternoon across northeast
    NM, with isolated hail and strong winds possible.=20

    Some increase in deep-layer shear is possible with time late this
    afternoon into the evening, as midlevel westerly flow gradually
    increases in advance of the approaching shortwave trough. This may
    allow for eventual development of a supercell or two, with any
    right-moving cells tending to propagate southeastward into a
    somewhat more unstable environment. Should this evolution occur, an
    increase in the threat for hail and localized severe gusts will be
    possible by early evening. Watch issuance is possible if confidence
    increases in the development of multiple supercells, though the
    onset of a greater severe threat and timing of any watch issuance
    remain somewhat uncertain.
