Severe Thunderstorm Watch Summary

Thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase this afternoon through this evening from central New Mexico into south-central/southeast New Mexico and adjacent far west Texas. Environmental conditions support the potential for supercells, particularly this afternoon, with large hail as the primary severe risk. A trend towards linear bowing segments is possible this evening, with strong gusts becoming the primary hazard. Additionally, given the supercell storm mode, a low-probability tornado risk exists across the region as well.
