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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Moisture has started to return to the region. As the afternoon
heats up, some isolated to scattered convection is expected. The
main threat from thunderstorms today will be dangerous cloud to
ground lightning along with the potential for a few strong
thunderstorm outflow winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Increased moisture will keep isolated to scattered thunderstorms
in the forecast through Monday evening. Middle of next week will
see less of a storm chance as the best moisture will be to our
west. However higher terrain could still help generate a storm or
two each day. Moisture moves back in late week and next weekend
allowing for additional rounds of afternoon and evening storms
area wide.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
