MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1006
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0355 PM CDT SAT JUN 06 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN/EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO
INTO THE FAR WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 062055Z - 062300Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...DEVELOPING THUNDERSTORMS MAY BRING A RISK FOR ISOLATED
DAMAGING TO SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND SMALL TO MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING.
DISCUSSION...LATEST SATELLITE/RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTS DEVELOPING
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN SANGRE DE
CRISTO MOUNTAINS IN NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. CONTINUED DIURNAL
HEATING OF MOIST, SOUTHERLY FLOW IS SUPPORTING WEAK BUOYANCY
(500-1000 J/KG), WITH WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER PROFILES IN PLACE
(STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND LCLS AROUND 2000-2500 M PER LATEST
OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS). ENHANCED NORTHERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW (30-40+ KTS
SAMPLED AT 3 KM AGL BY THE FDX/AMA/LUB VWPS) ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF
A MID-LEVEL CLOSED LOW/MCV IS CONTRIBUTING TO AROUND 25-30 KTS OF
EFFECTIVE SHEAR. COUPLED WITH A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR
EVAPORATIVE COOLING, THIS MAY PROMOTE MODEST ORGANIZATION OF A
CONVECTIVE CLUSTER ALONG A DEVELOPING COLD POOL. LATEST GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS SUCH A CLUSTER WILL EVOLVE OFF OF THE MOUNTAINS
SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD INTO EAST-CENTRAL NEW MEXICO AND PERHAPS THE FAR
WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. SHOULD THIS
SCENARIO OCCUR, THE PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE ISOLATED DAMAGING TO
POTENTIALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS. AN INSTANCE OR TWO OF MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL MAY ALSO BE POSSIBLE, MAINLY WITH ANY MORE ROBUST,
INITIALLY DISCRETE UPDRAFTS. WATCH ISSUANCE IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT
THIS TIME OWING TO THE EXPECTED ISOLATED NATURE OF THE SEVERE RISK.
