This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
New Mexico, southwest New Mexico, and southwest Texas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Increased moisture across much of the region overnight has raised
the chances for additional storm development across the area
mountains and the northern tier of the region for this afternoon.
Scattered storms are expected to develop by 1 pm over the
Gila/Black Range areas and the Sacramento mountains. Strong
outflow gust fronts should track south across the southern
lowlands in the mid and late afternoon hours to spark isolated
storms over these areas. Threats will be brief moderate to heavy
rainfall, and nuisance local flooding. Small hail is also
possible. Finally gusty winds up to 50 mph may cause minor damage
and loft thick blowing dust.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

More storms across the region, with resultant hazardous weather
similar to that depicted above is likely through Saturday. Drier
and warmer weather follows Sunday and Monday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter Activation will not be needed. But storm reports are
always appreciated.
