Areas affected...portions of eastern NM into the TX Panhandle/South
Plains

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 121927Z - 122130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Sporadic strong outflow gusts are possible this afternoon
into early evening. Overall severe risk is expected to remain
limited, and a watch is not currently expected.

DISCUSSION...Scattered storms have gradually intensified this
afternoon. Initial convection has developed within modest boundary
layer moisture within an upslope flow regime. Additional
thunderstorms are developing along southwestward progressing outflow
from morning convection over southwest OK. Modestly steep midlevel
lapse rates are supporting around 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, while strong
heating has allow low-level lapse rates to become quite steep.
Vertical shear is expected to remain weak, and combined with modest instability, should limit overall severe potential. Nevertheless,
deep boundary layer mixing noted on the 18z AMA RAOB and steep 0-3
km lapse rates will support potential for strong outflow winds
through early evening.
