All of the forecast models are fairly close agreement on the storm total rainfall amounts they are forecasting for the area. The Canadian model is currently the wettest in forecasting 1.00" to 1.50" of rainfall over Eddy and Lea Counties.

Thunderstorms will break out Tuesday evening and increase in aerial coverage and intensity Wednesday into Wednesday night. Believe it or not but there is the potential for some of these to become severe and produce large hail,damaging wind, and locally heavy rainfall. Enough wind shear will be available in the atmosphere to possibility even produce a few weak tornadoes over parts of the area. See this mornings 5 AM MST AFD from the El Paso National Weather Service Office. More on all of this later.
