Both teams appear comfortable with handling multiple threats, even on multiple storms. Team 1 is warning for hail with the storm east of Chaves. They are curious to see how this storm evolves upon interacting with a NNW-SSE oriented boundary located in the path of the storm. They also issued a high confidence hail warning for a storm southeast of Alamagordo…which has a 3-body scatter spike, and for which MESH indicates 3 inch hail.

Team 2 has been following a long-lived supercell which has occasionally produced a TVS, and at one time a fairly strong TVS…tracking just north of I-40 toward Tucumcari. They are maintaining high probabilities for hail and tornado with this cell…and have just added a low probability for tornado with a second supercell following in the path of the first. These cells are moving along an east-west oriented boundary of unknown origin…which may have bee produced by differential heating.
