This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of north and central
New Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of northeast and
east central New Mexico this afternoon and evening. Storms will
initially be discrete but as they shift eastward, they will grow
upscale into a small cluster. Large hail will be the initial threat,
however, the potential for damaging wind gusts will increase as the
storms shift east. Locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding is also
possible with any storms this afternoon and evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to increase in number and
intensity through the remainder of the work week. Severe weather
remains possible Wednesday afternoon and evening across northeast and
east central New Mexico. Once again, large hail and damaging winds
will be the main threats.

Heavy rain will also be a concern area wide through the remainder of
the week as soils become increasingly saturated and storm motion
slows. Though localized areas of flash flooding is possible on
Wednesday, concern for flash flooding is maximized on Thursday and
Friday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report rainfall amounts and any severe
weather through the National Weather Service Albuquerque web site at
