...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS
AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON...

A SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO INTO THE REGION HAS
BOROUGH DEWPOINTS UP AND ADDED ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL AND MID LEVEL
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. THIS INFLUX OF MOISTURE WILL COMBINE
WITH DAYTIME HEATING TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE
BORDERLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER FAR WEST TEXAS AND
SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE WELL INTO THE
EVENING. STORMS THAT DEVELOP TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL MOVE TO THE
NORTHEAST AT 20 MPH. CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR SOME OF THESE
STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL PRODUCE LARGE
HAIL LARGER THAN A PENNY...STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER 50 MPH...AND HEAVY
RAINFALL.

ACTIVE WEATHER WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF CONTINUING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA
WEATHER RADIO...LOCAL MEDIA...OR THE INTERNET AT WWW.WEATHER.GOV/ELPASO.
