(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 638 PM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022
Current radar is showing TS is almost out of PEQ & HOB and is away
from CNM. Isolated TS are seen distant from FST and the threat is
not enough to include in that TAF. Which leaves INK and MAF still
being affected for the next 2-3 hours. Afterward a cold front will
bring in MVFR CIGs to BKN010-020 06-12Z and remaining for much of
the remaining TAF period. Some sites may improve to VFR before 00Z
tomorrow.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 301 PM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022
Latest surface observations and extent of low cloud cover pin the
cold front now nosing into northern Lea County A dryline will bisect
this cold front, extending southward through the Big Bend in the
vicinity of the western high terrain. Low level moisture is quite
prevalent across the area with dewpoints in the mid-60s reaching as
far west as the dryline, possibly higher right along the leading
edge of the boundaries due to moisture pooling. This combined with
high temperatures in the mid 90s within the warm sector ahead of the
cold front/dryline supports a moderately unstable environment with
~2,500 J/kg of MLCAPE. Model soundings show fairly steep mid-upper
level lapse rates and modest shear with 30-35kts of effective bulk
shear by 00z. Hi-res models generally agree that convective
initiation (CI) will occur first around 19-20z across the higher
terrain of the Davis Mountains and southeast New Mexico along the
dryline as elevated heat sources will overcome the low-level capping
easier. Beyond CI, thunderstorm development/location will rely
heavily on the southward progression of the cold front and the
location of outflow boundaries, both from old convection across the
TX Panhandle from last night as well as new convection from this
afternoon. Storms are expected to gradually move south and eastward
as the front pushes southward with the possibility of multicell
clusters setting up across the Permian Basin this evening. The main
threats from this afternoon/evening's convection will be very large
hail and damaging winds but an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out
should a few cells remain discrete before growing upscale. Given
relatively slow storm motions and the possibility of discrete
propagation, flash flooding is also a concern this
afternoon/evening.
Rain chances continue into the early overnight hours from any
lingering convection/outflow boundaries as well as the southward
progression of the cold front. Northeasterly flow behind the cold
front resulting in cold advection paired with evaporative cooling
from any convection will result in cooler temperatures overnight,
with lows in the mid 50s to low 60s for most. Post frontal flow
will be gusty, resulting in strong gap winds through Guadalupe
Pass late this evening with a High Wind Warning in effect through
16z Thursday. Thanks to the continued cold advection and cloud
cover behind the front, high temperatures tomorrow will be 10-15
degrees cooler than today, mostly north of I-10. Storms will be
possible once again on Wednesday, mostly across the western high
terrain later in the day. A few strong to severe storms are
possible with moist easterly upslope flow with moderate shear.
Strong wind and hail remain the primary concerns.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 301 PM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022
Short and sweet due to ongoing short-term concerns. Lingering
convection will be possible Friday, mainly across northern areas
of the CWA in upslope flow behind the frontal boundary. Friday
will also be a transition day as the aforementioned boundary
becomes diffuse and undergoes frontolysis. Then Ma Nature turns up
the furnace Saturday and especially as we get into next week with
widespread triple-digit heat expected Monday through at least the
middle of the week. This will serve to dry out fine fuels and
exacerbate areas that missed out on precipitation. Therefore
increasingly critical fire weather conditions are possible,
especially Monday and Tuesday. With the exception of some
diurnally-driven convection over the western Low Rolling Plains
Tuesday, the grids beyond Friday are dry.
