   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298...

   Valid 232204Z - 240000Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat continues across much of eastern New Mexico.

   DISCUSSION...Strong boundary-layer heating appears mostly
   responsible for scattered convection that has developed across
   eastern CO/NM this afternoon. Although, a very weak short-wave
   trough may be contributing to background support for this activity
   as it begins to spread across the High Plains, propagating decidedly
   south-southeast. Several supercells have evolved and are likely
   producing hail in excess of 1 inch. Gradual upward-evolving
   thunderstorm clusters are expected over the next few hours and hail
   should remain the primary threat until more linear structures
   develop. At that time, wind may become more common with this
   activity.
