...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.

...Synopsis...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected across portions of
NM/TX and into the Plains on Thursday as a midlevel shortwave trough
moves across the southern Rockies into the southern Plains.
Deep-layer southwesterly flow is expected to remain modest, and any
stronger flow aloft will remain confined to the northern tier of the
U.S. South/southeasterly low-level flow will maintain 50s to low 60s
dewpoints across the southern Plains toward the Lower MO Valley
vicinity. This will support a band of modest destabilization from
eastern NM into KS on the nose of stronger low-level warm advection.
However, the area of any appreciable destabilization is expected to
be displaced from the modest large-scale ascent provided by the
ejecting southern stream shortwave. Overall, severe thunderstorm
potential appears low.
