Looking Northeast.
Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Scattered Severe T-Storms & Hot!
Wash, rinse, repeat...today's weather will be a whole lot like yesterday's. Another round of severe thunderstorms is forecast across the eastern half of the state this afternoon and evening. Clusters of thunderstorms may form along or near the NM/TX state line this evening as they move eastward into West Texas.
Again, the Storm Prediction Center is targeting the area from Tatum north to Clovis and east of Lubbock for the greatest risk of tornadoes...Enhanced Risk Area (Orange shade).
A Slight Risk Area (Yellow shade) covers all of northeastern, eastern, and southeastern New < Mexico.
Supercell thunderstorms will rule the afternoon and early evening. Tonight, several clusters of multicelluar thunderstorms will be possible.
Once again, all severe weather hazards will be in play in these areas, including: A few tornadoes, some maybe strong, large to very large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts in excess of 60 mph, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, locally heavy rainfall, and localized flash flooding.
Our high temps across southeastern New Mexico will be near 100 today, and the low to mid 100's Saturday and Sunday.

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
THE MID MS AND TN VALLEYS AND OVER SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the
central and southern High Plains. Very large hail, damaging winds,
and a tornado threat is anticipated. Scattered severe thunderstorms
and possibly a couple of tornadoes are also possible across parts of
the mid Mississippi Valley and into the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys.
...Mid MS and TN Valleys...
Late morning radar mosaic shows a decaying MCS over southern MO and
AR. An MCV will move eastward this afternoon and diurnal
destabilization of a very moist airmass near the MS/OH River
confluence and Mid South will promote scattered storm development by
early to mid afternoon. Enlarged hodographs imply a supercell
tornado risk may develop from southeast MO eastward into KY/TN this
afternoon and early evening. Farther south, widely scattered to
scattered thunderstorms are forecast as convective inhibition erodes
by early to mid afternoon to the east of the residual gust front.
Forecast soundings show PW near 2 inches and 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE
from AR into the northern half of MS/AL/GA. The southern fringe of
stronger westerlies will promote multicell organization with the
stronger storms and a hail/wind risk with some of these storms
through the early evening.
...High Plains...
Little change was made to the prior forecast. Two primary corridors
for severe activity are apparent in model guidance---1) CO I-25
corridor and areas southeastward into portions of southwest KS/OK
Panhandle and eventually the OK vicinity late tonight, and 2) in the
vicinity of trailing outflow that will modify over portions of
northwest/west TX and eastern NM. In eastern CO, moist upslope flow
will contribute to upper 40s to lower 50s dewpoints near the
foothills beneath a belt of strong westerly mid to high-level flow.
Steep lapse rates and elongated hodographs will favor supercells
with a risk for a couple of tornadoes, large to very large hail, and
eventually a transition to a cluster becoming predominately a wind
threat late.
Farther south, intense supercells are expected to form in vicinity
of this boundary during the late afternoon, posing another risk of
very large hail and a few tornadoes. Some signal in model guidance
shows a cluster of storms persisting into the late evening as storms
move east of the Caprock and into northwest TX before gradually
diminishing late.
