Southeast surface flow helped bring in some modest moisture to the Rio Grande Valley near El Paso with south-southwest flow aloft resulting in wind shear across the area. A severe storm was able to develop in northeast El Paso and hail up to 1 inch in diameter was reported.

NWS El Paso, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 2, 11:50 AM MST, 6 hours 25 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service El Paso TX/Santa Teresa NM 1250 PM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026 ...New DISCUSSION, FIRE WEATHER... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1241 PM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026 - Thunderstorm chances expected each afternoon through Friday with abundant moisture in place. - Gusty outflow winds, flooding, and even some hail possible this afternoon with storms. Flooding from storms possible Wednesday and Thursday. - Rapid warmup Sunday and early next week where El Paso could see it's first triple digit of the year. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1241 PM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026 Weak main lobe of low pressure is spinning off the coast of SoCal, but closer to home a shortwave associated with the low will help bring an active thunderstorm day today. Above average moisture has pushed into the area with PWs of 0.8"-1.0" generally along and east of the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). This will be the main action zone this afternoon with some storms possible in the Gila region. Main concern today will be damaging/severe wind gusts of 58+ mph possible near thunderstorms. CAMs are also suggesting a fairly large outflow from storm activity out east that will spread westward earlier tonight around 5-7PM. The outflow looks to cross the El Paso metro, Las Cruces and even into the Deming area tonight. In addition, DCAPEs are quite impressive with SPC Mesoanalysis page suggesting 1500-1700 J/kg over the next few hours confirming the threat for damaging wind gusts possible. Abundant moisture and a south to north trajectory of storms east of the RGV could spell flooding issues as well. Some hail is also possible. More areawide storm coverage tomorrow with just a bit better moisture with PWs increasing to around 0.9"-1.0" tomorrow. Hi-res models are illustrating the initial storm activity beginning early in the afternoon with two waves of thunderstorms developing (northern portion of the CWA, mostly the mountains) that will then spread southward, and then another wave of storms that develops in Mexico that drifts northward before eventually meeting the northern cluster. Another round of thunderstorms expected Thursday afternoon as a juicy atmosphere is still expected to be in place with PWs still above average, at 0.9"-1.0". Still generally lacking good shear for severe weather through Thursday but far southern Hudspeth county could have enough ingredients for severe weather tomorrow. By Friday, decent moisture looks to still be in the area but will be on the decrease through the day and into the weekend with drier conditions. Storm activity possible in the area mountains and far eastern locations of the CWA on Saturday afternoon but chances dwindle even more for Sunday afternoon. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1144 AM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026 Thunderstorms will continue to pop up this afternoon. Much of the activity will be over the area mountains and along and east of the Rio Grande. Biggest threat will be gusty outflow winds with some storms having the potential to have severe wind gusts (58+ mph). Storms will have the potential to be efficient rain makers which could create reductions in visibilities. KELP has the best chances to see storms like this but recent hi-res models suggest storms to stay further east of terminals. Models are also suggesting a large outflow to track east to west around 5-7PM tonight that will push through KELP, KLRU and even KDMN tonight. Storm activity will push eastward and out of the area, with storm chances diminishing && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1241 PM MDT Tue Jun 2 2026 Abundant moisture will shift westward tonight allowing for the best coverage of thunderstorms tomorrow and perhaps into Thursday. Min RHs both Wednesday and Thursday afternoon will be above critical thresholds at 20-40% in the lowlands and 40-50% in the area mountains. Flooding from storms will continue to be possible both days. Heading into Friday, good moisture will still be overhead but will be less than Wed/Thu. Critical min RHs along and west of the Continental Divide expected Friday afternoon with the rest of the area seeing RHs 20-30% in the lowlands and 45-50% in the mountains. We will enter a drier period of weather this weekend with critical min RHs returning. The Sacramento Mtns has a chance for thunderstorms Saturday afternoon but elsewhere should be dry that afternoon. Looking dry on Sunday with a rapid rebound in temperatures. Critical min RHs west of the Rio Grande Saturday but critical RHs spread across the lowlands Sunday with near critical min RHs in the mountains of 20-25%. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
