National Weather Force has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch effective this evening and going until midnight tonight for the western half of the Texas Panhandle, West Texas, Southwest Texas, Northeast New Mexico, Eastern New Mexico, and Southeast New Mexico, including all areas along the Texas and New Mexico border regions.
A system coming out of the west will move into the region today. Thunderstorms along a frontal boundary moving from west-northwest to east-southeast will form. These storms can have the power to produce the chance of a tornado, mainly along the Texas to New Mexico immediate border regions. As these storms move southeastward through the watch area with time, they will gain strengthen and produce damaging wind gusts and hail as well. Storms will move out of the southeast corner of the watch area later tonight.
In addition to the damaging winds; large hail, flooding, and that tornado risk will remain, but it will not be a full tornado watch.
