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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon and evening
with storms tracking generally from northwest to southeast. A few
of the stronger storms could produce damaging winds as well as
small hail. In addition, some localized flooding will be possible
as a few of the stronger storms have the potential to produce
upwards of 2 inches of rain locally. Storm coverage will
gradually decrease overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

Moisture will remain in place for most of the week ahead. As such,
additional rain and thunderstorms are expected on a daily basis.
Due to the fact that some areas could receive daily doses of
rain, the ground may become saturated which in turn will increase
our Flash Flood potential, especially Tuesday and Wednesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will be likely later this afternoon and
evening. SKYWARN spotters are encouraged to relay reports of
severe weather to WFO EPZ when it occurs.
