   Areas affected...southern New Mexico into far western Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 436...

   Valid 200044Z - 200145Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 436
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Large-hail and damaging-wind risk continues in WW436.

   DISCUSSION...Widely scattered thunderstorm activity continues within
   the southern portion of WW434. Storms within the northern portion of
   the watch have generally produced hail around 1-1.5 inches, through
   isolated hail up to 2 in was recorded near Torrance County, NM. A
   few more isolated cells continue within the northern fringes of the
   watch, but the air mass further north has largely been overturned by
   convection. The best instability remains from the Sacramento
   Mountains southward to the Guadalupe Mountains and into far western
   Texas, where surface objective analysis indicates around 1000-2000
   J/kg of MLCAPE and 40-50 kts of deep layer shear. Recent gusts of
   60-70 mph have been reported. Within this environment, the greatest
   short-term wind/hail threat will likely continue.
