   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 507
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Large hail threat continues with robust convection this
   evening.

   DISCUSSION...High-level diffluent flow continues across the southern
   Rockies early this evening. Isolated-scattered severe thunderstorms
   have evolved along the east slopes of the higher terrain where
   southeasterly low-level flow has maintained moisture (55-60F surface
   dew points) coincident with strong boundary-layer heating. Several
   supercells have evolved, and a small cluster appears to be evolving
   from Guadalupe into northern Chaves County. This activity will
   likely continue propagating south along the primary instability axis
   given the modest northwesterly 500mb flow. More isolated activity
   will continue south into far west Texas. Radar continues to suggest
   the primary risk is large hail, likely exceeding golf ball sized in
   the strongest updrafts.
