AND ACROSS THE EASTCENTRAL PLAINS. OFFICIALS FROM DE BACA COUNTY HAVE
RECEIVED REPORTS OF HEAVY RAIN AND SMALL HAIL IN AN AREA FROM 15 TO 30
MILES SOUTH OF FT SUMNER. THIS BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTEND EASTWARD
ACROSS ROOSEVELT AND SOUTHERN QUAY COUNTIES. THE THUNDERSTORMS IN THIS
AREA ARE DRIFTING SLOWLY TOWARDS THE WEST.

ELSEWHERE AROUND THE STATE THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN
MOUNTAINS ARE MOVING TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST WHILE THE THUNDERSTORMS OVETHE SOUTHWEST MOUNTAINS ARE MOVING WESTWARD. THE RATE OF MOVEMENT IS
QUITE SLOW...THUS THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY PERSIST OVER ONE AREA AND COULDUMP BRIEF HEAVY RAINS.

THE INCREASE IN THE INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON IS THE RESULT OF A FRONT THAT MOVED SOUTHWARD THROUGH MUCH
OF THE STATE ON THURSDAY AND LAST NIGHT. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE DURING THE EVENING OVER THE NORTH BUT CONTINUE
INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS ACROSS THE SOUTH.
