    Areas affected...parts of east central New Mexico into portions of
    the Texas South Plains

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 684...

    Valid 160121Z - 160315Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 684
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A couple of strong storms may continue to pose a risk for
    locally severe hail and wind while spreading toward the Texas South
    Plains through late evening.

    DISCUSSION...The most substantive convective development, including
    scattered embedded strong cells, has remained largely focused along
    a cold front nosing to the southeast and south of the Sangre de
    Cristo Mountains and Raton Mesa vicinity. Activity has been
    supported by southeasterly inflow of moist pre-frontal
    boundary-layer air characterized by mixed-layer CAPE up to 1000
    J/kg, and this may maintain isolated to widely scattered strong
    storms at least into the 02-4Z time frame.

    A belt of 30-50 kt westerly flow in the 500-300 mb layer is
    contributing to sufficiently strong shear for occasional supercell
    structures. However, due to generally light easterly to
    southeasterly flow in lower levels, rightward/southward storm
    propagation is rather modest (around 20-25 kt). Even so, the
    environment probably remains marginally supportive of locally
    damaging surface gusts (aided by precipitation loading), in addition
    to severe hail, in the stronger storms.
