    Areas affected...Eastern New Mexico...West Texas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 202046Z - 202315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A threat for large hail and wind damage may develop across
    parts of eastern New Mexico and west Texas late this afternoon into
    early evening. The threat is expected to remain isolated and weather
    watch issuance appears unlikely at this time.

    DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a 1002 mb low eastern
    New Mexico with a dryline extending southward from the low into far
    west Texas. Surface dewpoints to the east of the dryline range from
    near 40 F at Clovis, NM to near 50 F at Midland, TX. In response to
    surface heating, a narrow corridor of instability is analyzed by the
    RAP from far west Texas extending northward into eastern New Mexico.
    Visible satellite imagery shows developing cumulus along the
    instability corridor with the most widespread cumulus located from
    near Roswell, NM northward to near Tucumcari, NM. A weak capping
    inversion is likely present but the cap should diminish over the
    next couple of hours as surface heating continues and large-scale
    ascent increases ahead of an approaching upper-level system in the
    Four Corners region. This should allow for the initiation of
    surfaced-based convection in east eastern New Mexico late this
    afternoon.

    The HRRR solution seems reasonable which develops a line of
    thunderstorms oriented from north to south across far eastern New
    Mexico and moves this line eastward into west Texas by early
    evening. Regional WSR-88D VWPs and objective analysis show strong
    deep-layer shear in place with 0-6 km shear estimated near 60 kt.
    This combined with steep mid-level lapse rates on forecast soundings
    may support strong updrafts capable of producing isolated large
    hail. A wind damage threat will also be possible. Instability should
    remain relatively weak and any severe threat should remain isolated.

    Areas affected...Portions of far northeastern LA into
    central/northern MS...northwestern/west-central AL...and southern
    middle TN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 071813Z - 072015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms along a boundary may pose an isolated severe
    hail/wind risk this afternoon. Watch issuance is possible.

    DISCUSSION...Within a weak low-level warm air advection regime,
    several thunderstorms have recently intensified along a convectively
    reinforced boundary across parts of central/northern MS into
    southern middle TN. The airmass along and south of this boundary
    will remain moderately unstable through the afternoon, with the 18Z mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE of 1000-2500 J/kg. This developing
    convection is well ahead of a southern-stream shortwave trough and
    related line of thunderstorms across coastal southeast TX. Still,
    modestly strengthening west-southwesterly winds in the mid/upper
    levels should support 30-40 kt of effective bulk shear. This shear
    combined with steep mid-level lapse rates noted on the 12Z sounding
    from Jackson, MS suggest that isolated large hail will be possible
    through the afternoon with convection that can remain at least
    semi-discrete. Strong to locally damaging winds may also be a
    concern if thunderstorms develop into one or more small line
    segments as they move east-northeastward. Radar trends will be
    monitored for any further increase in convective coverage/intensity
    which may necessitate watch issuance.
