...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST
ARIZONA THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO INTO FAR WEST TEXAS...

...SUMMARY...
Widely scattered thunderstorms capable of marginally severe hail and
gusty winds will persist from southeast Arizona, southern New Mexico
and far west Texas this evening.

...Southeast AZ through southern NM and far west TX...

Widely scattered thunderstorms will persist this evening within
corridor of ascent accompanying a cutoff upper low circulation
centered near the northern Baja area. Despite limited low-level
moisture with 40s F dewpoints, 7-7.5 C/km 850-500 mb lapse rates and
earlier diabatic warming contributed to MLCAPE up to 800 J/kg as
indicated by the 00Z El Paso raob.  As the boundary layer
stabilizes, storms have become at least slightly elevated, but
effective shear through the convective layer remains sufficient for
supercell structures, posing a risk for hail and downburst winds.
Activity will gradually develop through southern New Mexico and west
TX overnight as primary zone of forcing for ascent expands east, but
tendency should be for storms to weaken as they intercept wedge of
cold, stable air east of the higher terrain. 

Other storms are developing over the higher terrain of southwest TX.
This activity will pose at a marginal, short-term risk for hail and
downburst winds, but will eventually move north above the wedge of
shallow, stable air northeast of the mountains.
