    Areas affected...East and northeast New Mexico

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 040032Z - 040230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Localized severe gusts appear possible over the next hour
    or two as convective bands migrate east into a buoyant air mass.

    DISCUSSION...Reflectivity and velocity imagery from KFDX shows a
    pair of convective bands propagating southeast across east and
    northeast NM. Based on the speed of propagation and lack of
    appreciable shear in the region, these bands are mainly being driven
    by cold pool propagation into a buoyant air mass. Latest RAP
    mesoanalysis depicts a regional buoyancy maximum immediately
    downstream across east-central NM, which should maintain the bands
    and may promote some degree of intensification. Additionally,
    low-level lapse rates were recently analyzed at about 9 C/km, which
    will facilitate momentum transfer to the surface. Consequently, some
    potential for localized severe gusts could manifest over the next
    hour or so before the onset of nocturnal cooling and boundary layer stabilization.
