...NM/Far West TX...
Slow-moving upper low is forecast to continue progressing
northeastward across the Southwest today, moving from its current
position over the Lower CO River Valley/southwest AZ to the Four
Corners by early Monday. Moderate southwesterly mid/upper level flow
will persist throughout the eastern periphery of this system,
spreading from eastern AZ/western NM into the southern High Plains.
Moderate buoyancy is expected to develop this afternoon from central
NM into Far West TX, where modest low-level moisture is anticipated
beneath cool mid-level temperatures. Thunderstorm development is
anticipated across the region this afternoon as lift associated with
the upper low spreads eastward. Combination of shear and buoyancy
should be adequate for a few stronger storms, particularly within
the narrow corridor from ELP (El Paso, TX) northward/northeastward
to ONM (Socorro, NM). Overall profile favors hail as the primary
severe risk, although a few stronger downbursts are possible as
well.
