   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 262
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Isolated severe thunderstorms will continue across ww262.

   DISCUSSION...Weak steering currents are contributing to the
   reluctance of convection to propagate away from steeper low-level
   lapse rate environment. Isolated thunderstorms have congregated off
   the higher terrain over Las Animas County CO and around the Las
   Vegas NM region. Over the last half hour or so, visible satellite
   imagery suggests storm-top venting is perhaps a bit stronger as
   anvil debris is beginning to expand more substantially.
   Additionally, IR imagery shows cooling cloud tops and this could
   lead to storm clusters that may form enough cold pool to eventually
   spread southeast toward the northwest TX Panhandle. Whether this
   activity is able to track along the instability axis is likely
   predicated on an established cold pool, and this may take a few
   hours.
