    Mesoscale Discussion 0179
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0122 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019

    Areas affected...Central New Mexico

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 121822Z - 121945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Increasing storm coverage is expected over the next 1 to 2
    hours. A few storms may become strong to severe with isolated large
    hail and damaging winds as the primary threat.

    DISCUSSION...Low-level moisture advection and surface heating has
    destabilized much of central New Mexico with between 250 and 500
    J/kg of MLCAPE at 18Z. 16Z HRRR forecast soundings suggest
    inhibition will be eroded around 18Z, and in fact, a storm has
    recently developed south of Socorro, NM suggesting inhibition is
    likely about gone. As upper-level divergence (suggested via
    satellite in western New Mexico) overspreads this area, expect storm development to become more numerous in the next 1 to 2 hours.
    Effective shear around 55 to 65 knots will be sufficient for
    organized updrafts, but the weak instability should limit the threat
    for more than a few stronger storms. Nonetheless, any rotating
    storms will have a hail threat, especially given the low freezing
    levels, and a well-mixed sub-cloud layer will support the potential
    for strong convective wind gusts. Widespread storm development and
    gradual stabilization of much of this region will likely preclude
    the need for a watch.
