SPC MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1006 FOR SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO/
SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS/THE WESTERN OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE/EXTREME
NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO/THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 354...

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN
COLORADO AND NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. ACTIVITY HAS HAD DIFFICULTY
IN DEVELOPING DUE TO AN ELEVATED MIXED LAYER OVER EASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE WATCH AREA. HOWEVER...THE STORMS THAT HAVE MOVED ACROSS THE
AREA THUS FAR HAVE MOISTENED THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE...HELPING TO
ERODE THE CAP SOME. ADDITIONAL STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS ACROSS THE AREA. VERY STRONG INSTABILITY
REMAINS IN PLACE /SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG/
INDICATING A CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.
