    Areas affected...Eastern New Mexico...Northwestern Texas
    Panhandle...Oklahoma Panhandle

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 212330Z - 220200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...A marginal severe threat will likely continue for a few
    more hours this evening across eastern New Mexico. The threat may
    eventually affect the western Oklahoma Panhandle and northwestern
    Texas Panhandle. Isolated severe hail and strong gusty winds would
    be the primary threats. Weather watch issuance is not expected
    across the region this evening.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a surface trough
    extending from south-central Colorado southward into central New
    Mexico. Thunderstorms have developed to the east of the trough in
    the higher terrain of northeast New Mexico and in the Sacramento
    Mountains of southeast New Mexico. The convection in the
    northeastern part of New Mexico will gradually move eastward toward
    the New Mexico and Texas state line where instability is markedly
    greater. The RAP is analyzing moderate instability across the
    western Texas Panhandle with MLCAPE in the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range.
    This should enable the storms to maintain intensity as they move
    eastward across the southern High Plains this evening. The
    instability combined with 40 to 50 kt of deep-layer shear will be
    favorable for marginally severe storms capable of producing hail and
    strong wind gusts. The favored corridor for development would be
    along a zone of convergence evident on satellite imagery over the
    western Oklahoma Panhandle and in the far northwestern Texas
    Panhandle where low-level moisture is maximized. The storms
    developing in southeast New Mexico are located in an area of strong
    capping. This should limit the duration of the marginal severe
    threat there.
