   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 253, 254 continues.

   SUMMARY...It appears the risk for severe gusts (60-75 mph) is
   increasing substantially as a squall line over the south-central
   High Plains intensifies as it moves east into richer low-level
   moisture.

   DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery shows a vigorous mid-level
   shortwave trough over central NM and it is forecast to move rapidly
   northeast towards the Raton Mesa during the evening hours.  Strong
   mid- to upper-level forcing for ascent coupled with a moisture-rich
   boundary layer (surface dewpoints in the middle 60s) will promote
   additional cold pool coalescing as the squall line over northeast NM
   into southeast CO continues to intensify.  Confidence is relatively
   high for severe gusts (60-75 mph) to become scattered to widespread
   as the squall line moves to the northeast into adjacent portions of
   the TX/OK Panhandles and near the KS/CO border during the next few
   hours.
