At 910 PM MDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm 13
miles northwest of Kenna, or 33 miles west of Portales, moving east
at 10 mph.

Nickel size hail and winds in excess of 40 mph will be possible with
this storm.

Heavy rain and frequent and dangerous cloud to ground lightning will
also be possible with this storm.

This storm will remain over mainly rural areas of west central
Roosevelt and northeastern Chaves Counties.

Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm, and may lead
to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded
roadways.

Accumulations of small hail on roads can create very slick and
hazardous driving conditions.
