AREAS AFFECTED...EAST CENTRAL/NORTHEAST NM AND SOUTHEAST CO

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL 

VALID 221959Z - 222200Z

IT APPEARS THAT STRONG WIND GUST/PERHAPS LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL MAY
SPREAD INTO THE SOUTHEAST CO AND NORTHEAST/EAST CENTRAL NM FRONT
RANGE/FOOTHILLS THROUGH MID/LATE AFTERNOON. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH MAY BE NEEDED SOON.

STRONG MEASURED WIND GUSTS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED OVER THE PAST 1-2
HOURS ACROSS CENTRAL CO AND NORTH CENTRAL NM WITH LOOSELY ORGANIZED
CLUSTERS OF HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS. GUSTS NEAR/ABOVE 50 KTS HAVE
BEEN OBSERVED AT TAOS NM/ALAMOSA CO. EVEN THOUGH THE PLAINS ARE
STILL RELATIVELY STABLE...AMBIENT WIND FIELDS AND LOW LEVEL
UPSLOPE/FURTHER DESTABILIZATION ACROSS THE PLAINS MAY SUPPORT A
SEVERE THREAT DEVELOPING INTO AT LEAST THE I-25 CORRIDOR OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. IT STORMS CAN SURVIVE INTO EASTERN NM...40-50 KTS OF
EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS.
