   Mesoscale Discussion 1153
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0354 PM CDT Fri Jun 06 2025

   Areas affected...eastern New Mexico and portions of Southwestern
   Texas

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 062054Z - 062300Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...Supercells capable of large to very large hail, damaging
   winds, and a couple of tornadoes likely this afternoon and evening.

   DISCUSSION...Recent satellite imagery shows deepening cu across the
   dryline and high terrain of eastern New Mexico. Dew points in this
   region are in the upper 50s to 60s with MLCIN slowly eroding across
   far southeastern New Mexico where temperatures are in the 90s.
   Trends would suggest convective initiation may be delayed from
   timing in most CAM guidance but should occur over the next couple of
   hours. 

   Strong deep layer shear around 50-55 kts will promote supercells
   initially capable of large to very large hail and damaging wind.
   Through time this evening, storms will be moving into a very
   unstable and strongly sheared air mass across southwestern Texas. As
   the low-level jet strengthens, an increase in hodograph curvature
   and increasing 0-1 km SRH will likely lead to an increase in tornado
   potential. A watch will likely be needed this afternoon/evening to
   cover this threat.
