... Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Hidalgo and Grant counties until
3pm...
Abundant moisture at the surface and aloft combined with a very
unstable atmosphere will result in a potential for severe
thunderstorm development over Hidalgo and Grant counties today. Any
severe thunderstorms that develop may be capable of producing large
hail and wind gusts in excess of 58 mph. Very vigorous low pressure
aloft over the Great Basin of the United States is sending
multiple impulses of energy across the southwestern United States
into the southern rockies. This system will continue to slowly
move eastward this weekend causing unsettled weather throughout
the Borderland. Persons should stay alert for any any future changes
to the watch area and be prepared for the likelihood of strong
thunderstorms throughout the entire area with hail... strong wind
outflows... deadly lightning... and localized heavy rainfall with
associated low area flooding.
Persons should listen to NOAA Weather Radio or local television or
radio stations for further weather updates.
