The 19Z Octane Direction product depicts the low level southerly-flow  moisture axis well with the  the red/purple hues of the shallow cumulus from northeast New Mexico through the AMA and LUB CWAs. This clashes well with the westerly greens shown from the maturing convective towers and anvil clouds coming off the ABQ terrain, lining up with the westerly flow aloft. It’s difficult to see the separation from where convection is rooted currently in north central New Mexico compared to where the southerly moist axis is to the east. That said, it’s fair to expect a more favorable convective environment within that moist axis for thunderstorms to move into and strengthen later this afternoon or evening.
