Once Again Severe T-Storms Possible Today, Tonight, Saturday.












NWS NDFD Rainfall Forecast Totals.
(Today Through 6 AM MDT Monday).


Weather Prediction Center 7-Day Rainfall Forecast Totals.


Like a broken record that has been stuck in the same old grove playing the same song over and over again...our local weather forecasts once again promise rain and severe weather today into Saturday.

All of the severe weather parameters will come in to play today, this evening, and again Saturday. This includes scattered supercell thunderstorms that will produce large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, deadly cloud to ground lightning, locally heavy rains that may lead to localized flash flooding. 

All I can say is look out when a storm does roll over us/you. It will be catch-up time in a hurry. Thunderstorms remain in our forecast through the weekend into next week too. 

(Issued At 10:27 AM MDT This Friday Morning).

..Texas to eastern NM...

   An isolated damaging wind and marginally severe hail risk should
   exist downstream of an ongoing short line segment in east-central
   TX. 2000-2500 J/kg of MLCAPE will be common ahead of this segment,
   with potential for additional development towards the Upper TX
   Coastal Plain this afternoon. Modest deep-layer shear should limit
   the potential for greater organization. 

   Farther west, weak mid/upper height rises will occur late today into
   tonight. Nevertheless, ample low-level moisture characterized by low
   to mid 60s surface dew points currently across the Pecos
   Valley/Permian Basin will foster scattered storm development over
   the higher terrain of southeast NM and the TX Trans-Pecos by late
   afternoon. A veering wind profile with height in conjunction with
   favorable speed shear from 500-250 mb should support a large hail
   risk along with isolated sig. Consolidation of convection into a
   small MCS tonight appears possible in parts of west TX. Increasingly
   weak 700-500 mb flow amid the height rises should limit organization
   potential and marginalize the risk for severe wind gusts.

Quote- "Kudos to Lynn Coats, (aka Core Punch), for providing real time reports from a storm that produced strong winds and nickel sized hail. The storm crossed U.S. 285 at Ojibwa Road then proceeded in an easterly direction causing extensive damage including Rock Hill Dairy. I believe photo credit goes to Dexter Fire Chief Justin Powell, except for the shot from inside Lynn's vehicle."

Much Cooler Today Along With Severe Thunderstorms.








Valid Today Through 6 PM MDT Monday.

(Issued At 6:55 AM MDT).

 ...Eastern New Mexico to west/south Texas...

   Initially, isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible
   this morning across the Edwards Plateau near the Rio Grande. Hail is
   the most probable hazard. Otherwise, a front will continue to settle
   southward today across much of south/southwest Texas, with
   increasingly moist (albeit modestly so) low-level upslope
   trajectories gradually increasing across southwest Texas/southeast
   New Mexico, northward toward the Raton Mesa vicinity. Aside from
   evolving upslope/orographic lift, forcing for ascent will increase
   through peak heating with a northeastward-moving weak shortwave
   trough/modest speed max crossing New Mexico.

   The greatest combination of deep-layer shear and moderate/strong
   instability will exist from far southeast New Mexico across the
   Transpecos to Big Bend vicinity of southwest Texas, with supercells
   capable of large hail (perhaps locally significant) and perhaps some
   tornado risk most probable within this corridor.
Other more isolated
   severe storms will be possible as far north as the Raton Mesa
   vicinity/southeast Colorado.


   The increase of a southeasterly low-level jet this evening may allow
   for a general east/southeastward propagation this evening, possibly
   with upscale growth into one or more gradually accelerating
   clusters. This would increase the potential for locally damaging
   winds aside from hail, mainly across southwest Texas and the Rio
   Grande vicinity.

   ..Guyer/Broyles.. 05/30/2019


So far this has been one wild spring. Numerous severe weather events have affected the area with the most activity having occurred along and east of the NM/TX State line. This past holiday weekend saw several rounds of severe thunderstorms most notably in New Mexico this past weekend. Tornadoes were reported northeast of Roswell, south of Portales, near Dora, Logan, and Clayton. Hobbs was hit with 2" diameter hail (lime or hen egg size) while golf ball size hail was reported in Jal.

We are not done yet. For those of you who are hoping for rain its coming but more than likely with a price. Scattered thunderstorms are forecast for the local area today into Friday morning. Some of these will be of the supercell type which will produce large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, frequent deadly cloud to ground lightning. Locally heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding will also be a concern especially over and near the mountains. This includes Eddy County and nearby areas.

A few tornadoes will also be possible with the supercell thunderstorms that fire along the stationary frontal boundary draped over the region. Tonight we may see a cluster of thunderstorms develop that could persists well into Friday morning. This will pose a damaging wind threat along with a heavy rain and flash flood threat. Storm total rainfall amounts could get up to around 3" maybe higher if training thunderstorms develop.

Thunderstorms are forecast to continue into the upcoming weekend.

Rain Everywhere But Not Here.




2-Day Rainfall Totals.


7-Day Rainfall Totals.



Kansas And Oklahoma 7-Day Rainfall Totals.



Although the dryline has been very active for the past week most of Southeastern New Mexico has missed out on the storms and thus the rain. The exception of course is Lea County and other New Mexico Counties located near the NM/TX State line. This is fairly common in May. May can either be bust or boom rainfall-wise for us and so far this year it has been mostly bust.

Then you have southern and southeastern Kansas and northern and extreme northeastern Oklahoma where 10" to 15" of rain has fallen in the past week alone. Severe to historical flooding continues in many of those areas.

Severe T-Storm Watch #255 In Effect Until 9 PM MDT For SE NM.




In Effect From 2:40 PM MDT Through 9:00 PM MDT.

 URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 255
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   340 PM CDT Sun May 26 2019

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southeastern New Mexico
     West central Texas

   * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 340 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
     inches in diameter likely.
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible.
     A tornado or two possible.

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will develop along a dryline in New Mexico
   and spread east-northeastward into west central Texas this evening. 
   The initial storms will likely be supercells capable of producing
   large hail, and possible an isolated tornado.  Some upscale growth
   of storms into more of a line is possible this evening, with the
   potential for damaging gusts.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
   statute miles east and west of a line from 25 miles north northeast
   of Cannon Afb NM to 15 miles southwest of Hobbs NM. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

   &&

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 252...WW 253...WW 254...

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector
   24035.

Valid At 6 PM MDT This Afternoon.

Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are forecast to pop up along and east of the dryline this afternoon and evening across parts of Southeastern New Mexico and West Texas. Just exactly where the dryline is located late this afternoon and early this evening will be a big determining factor in where the storms are. 

As of 10:30 AM MDT widely scattered rain showers were already developing in western Lea County.

As of 10 AM MDT this morning the dryline is still hung up along the east slopes of the Guadalupe and Sacramento mountains...it had backed as far west as Dell City earlier this morning. It will mix eastward later this afternoon stalling somewhere near the Caprock, then back back westward around sunset. Dew point temperatures across the southeastern plains are in the mid 60's this morning.

Using this mornings 6 AM MDT NAM 3K forecast sounding and severe weather parameter forecasts it appears that we will be right on the edge of the dryline at 6 PM this afternoon. Should the dryline not mix as far east as currently forecast then there would be a greater chance for severe thunderstorms in and near the Pecos Valley today. 

This mornings severe weather parameter forecasts along with the SPC Day-1 Severe Weather Outlook indicate that any thunderstorm that does form will be severe. Supercell thunderstorms are likely along and east of the dryline.

Forecast Sounding Parameters.

No CAP/CIN.
High Temps Mid 90's.
Lifted Index values of -13C.
 Significant Tornado Parameter of 4.
0-6 KM Bulk Wind Shear values of 60 to 70 knots.
 Storm Relative Helicity values of 100-300 M2/S/2.
Surface based cape values are forecast to be in the 3,500 to 4,500 j/kg range.

The main severe weather threat appears to be large hail perhaps a few isolated cases of very large hail. Forecast soundings late this afternoon in northeast Eddy County indicate hail of around baseball size. 

Damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will also be possible with any severe thunderstorm that develops. Frequent deadly cloud to ground lightning will accompany any thunderstorm. Remember "When Thunder Roars - Go Indoors."

Thunderstorms should begin to fire up around noontime as a short wave approaches from the southwest out of northwestern Mexico. 

Its not totally out of the question that a few tornadoes may also develop this afternoon and evening. 

Today will be a day to keep a close eye on our local weather and have a plan of action ready to implement should severe weather impact your location.

Hit & Miss T-Storms To Return - Some Severe.


(May 19th - 21st, 2019).



Once again Southeastern New Mexico was left high and dry by the latest storm to impact the state and area. Not necessarily a bad thing considering the magnitude and scope of the severe weather that has impacted our neighbors.

(As Of 11 PM MDT Tuesday, May 21st, 2019).





Valid At Midnight Last Night.

GFS 500 MB/18,000' MSL Forecast.

Valid At 6 AM MDT Thursday Morning.


Valid At Midnight Tonight.

(Thursday).




Valid Tonight Through 6 PM MDT Monday, May 27th, 2019.


A very active May weather pattern continues to make life interesting across the area. Our latest storm has moved out of the state while another one waits to our northwest. 

Its May and we are rolling into the heart of our severe weather season (mid May - mid June). The dryline has been very active this year and this will be the case again tonight into the upcoming holiday weekend. It is forecast to slosh back and forth across West Texas and the Eastern third of New Mexico into the weekend. 

A series of mid and upper level disturbances will interact with the sloshing dryline from time to time beginning tonight continuing into the weekend to produce rounds of scattered thunderstorms locally. Some of these will become severe at times and will be capable of producing large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts, deadly cloud to ground lightning, heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding, and a few tornadoes.

Round one begins tonight along and near the NM/TX State line. This is going to be another hit and miss event. Those who get rain over the next five days or so could get storm totals of 1" to 3". But it will come at a price and not everyone is going to see that much rain. The price will be severe thunderstorms. For the short term Thursday appears to be the most likely and active day locally for severe weather.
