0459 PM CDT WED AUG 19 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...EASTERN NEW MEXICO...EASTERN COLORADO
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 192159Z - 200000Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A FEW INSTANCES OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED IN COVERAGE ALONG
THE HIGH TERRAIN ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND EASTERN COLORADO THIS
AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY SPREAD INTO THE LOWER PLAINS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR ORGANIZATION IS BEST ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO,
WITH WEAKER SHEAR ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO. THE MOST FAVORABLE
INSTABILITY ALSO RESIDES ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO. A FEW ISOLATED
SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE INITIALLY. LARGE DEW
POINT DEPRESSIONS AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL LIKELY LEAD
TO OUTFLOW DOMINATE STORMS AND MORE OF A THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
WIND. OVERALL, THIS THREAT SHOULD REMAIN TOO LOCALIZED FOR WATCH
ISSUANCE.
