Areas affected...eastern New Mexico into the western Texas Panhandle

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 080938Z - 081115Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Several supercells have formed and may pose a large hail
threat for a few hours as they move east-southeast early this
morning.

DISCUSSION...Elevated supercells have developed across eastern New
Mexico as a mid-level trough approaches from the northwest. These
storms have developed in a region with modest, but sufficient
instability (1000 J/kg MUCAPE) and moderate shear (35-40 knots) per
SPC mesoanalysis. Expect this environment to shift slowly east which
may allow for some stronger storms to persist into the western Texas
Panhandle near daybreak. MRMS MESH suggests 2+ inch hail is possible
in some of the larger cores. This seems significantly overestimated,
but some 1 to 1.5 inch hail is possible. 

This threat is expected to be too isolated/short lived for a severe
thunderstorm watch.
