    Mesoscale Discussion 0393
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0530 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024

    Areas affected...Southwest TX into the Permian Basin and Far
    Southeast NM

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 091030Z - 091230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Conditional risk for large to very large hail will
    continue from far southeast New Mexico into the Permian Basin and
    southwest Texas this morning. A watch may be needed if trends
    suggest sufficient storm coverage is likely.

    DISCUSSION...Elevated thunderstorms continue across far southeast NM
    and the TX South Plains amid persistent warm-air advection to the
    north of a surface low centered over the Pecos County TX vicinity.
    Large hail will remain possible with these storms over the next hour
    or two.=20

    Farther south, a recent attempt at deep convection near the center
    of the low over Crane, Midland, and Upton Counties in TX failed, but
    additional attempts are expected in this area as surface convergence
    persists and large-scale forcing for ascent gradually increases.
    Steep mid-level lapse rates and robust deep-layer vertical shear
    across this region would support strong updrafts capable of large to
    very large hail with any sustained development. Primary uncertainty
    is whether or not updrafts can be sustained amid the substantial
    low/mid-level dry air in place. Given the conditional risk for large
    to very large hail and potential need for a watch, observational
    data and convective trends will be monitored closely over the next
    couple of hours for signs that deeper convection can be maintained.
