Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 353

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

140 PM MDT Thu Jun 13 2019



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

SUMMARY...Widely scattered supercell development is expected across

eastern New Mexico this afternoon, and storms will move generally

southeastward through late evening.  Large hail will be the primary

concern, though damaging gusts will become more of a threat if

storms can congeal into a cluster, which is more probable across

northeast New Mexico this evening.

statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles east northeast

of Raton NM to 40 miles east southeast of Guadalupe Pass TX. For a

complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline

update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).
