   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 375
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Convection should spread east across the remainder of
   ww375 later this evening. Wind/hail remain possible.

   DISCUSSION...With the upper ridge remaining centered over TX,
   several weak disturbances, likely convectively enhanced, are
   rotating across northern Mexico into NM/CO. One such feature may be
   enhancing thunderstorm activity across southern CO that is now
   shifting east of the higher terrain. Another disturbance may be
   located along the AZ/NM border, and this appears partly responsible
   for upscale growth over NM. In both cases, boundary-layer heating is
   the primary driver, along with orographic forcing. Over the next few
   hours, convection should spread across the southwestern High Plains
   toward the NM/TX border, extending into southeast CO. This activity
   will likely persist well into the late-evening hours as LLJ is
   forecast to increase across the TX South Plains after sunset.

   Watch may be warranted later this evening downstream from parts of
   the TX Panhandle into southwest KS.
