   BY LATE AFTERNOON.

   DISCUSSION...SELY SURFACE WINDS ARE MAINTAINING LOWER 60S F
   DEWPOINTS NWWD ACROSS WRN TX AND INTO SERN NM WHERE HEATING
   CONTINUES BENEATH PATCHY CIRRUS. CU FIELDS WERE EVIDENT ON VISIBLE

   FLOW REGIME.

   FLOW ALOFT IS NOT STRONG...A STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET WILL
   INCREASE STORM PROPAGATION...WITH A FEW SUPERCELLS LIKELY...SOME
   SPLITTING. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL. HOWEVER...ISOLATED
   DAMAGING WIND AND/OR A BRIEF/WEAK TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
