Mesoscale Discussion 1559
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0133 PM CDT Mon Jul 08 2024
Areas affected...North-central New Mexico
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 081833Z - 082030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated, marginally severe hail and strong/severe wind
gusts are possible as storms develop and move southeastward. A watch
is not likely.
DISCUSSION...Surface dewpoints have help in the upper 40s to low 50s
F in north-central New Mexico. With very modest mid-level ascent
along the base of the departing upper-level trough, a few storms
have deepened early this afternoon within the terrain. Effective
shear of 30-35 kts will promote some storm organization. Much of the
shear is concentrated in the lowest 6 km with fairly minimal shear
above that level. Despite steep mid-level lapse rates, hail size
should be tempered by this less favorable wind profile. Steep
low-level lapse rates will support isolated strong/severe wind gusts
as well. Cloud cover and drier air moving into the northeastern
plains will likely limit how far southeast this activity will
progress this afternoon.
