   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298...

   Valid 240010Z - 240215Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Risk of hail and some wind continue across southeast New
   Mexico into far west Texas.

   DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm clusters have merged into an elongated
   corridor of convection across eastern NM from San Miguel County - De
   Baca County - Lincoln County - Sierra County. Over the last hour or
   two, radar algorithms suggest hail sizes have gradually decreased as
   earlier supercells are now more multi-cellular, loosely resembling a
   weak MCS. This activity should continue to propagate south-southeast
   along the instability axis into far west TX where it remains hot,
   with surface temperatures in the mid 90s, and low-level easterly
   flow continues. CAMs are not particularly aggressive with this
   cluster of storms but they do suggest this weak MCS will continue
   beyond the southern/eastern watch border, thus some consideration
   for a new watch may be necessary.
