745 ACUS02 KWNS 281717 SWODY2 SPC AC 281715 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1215 PM CDT Mon Sep 28 2026 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY FROM SOUTHERN AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO WEST TEXAS... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorm gusts and a couple of tornadoes will be possible Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday from southeast New Mexico into west Texas. ...Southeast NM/west TX Tuesday afternoon into early Wednesday... A midlevel low will move eastward over AZ/NM while the remnants of Hurricane Polo eject northeastward toward far west TX and southeast NM. An influx of midlevel moisture with the tropical system from the Pacific and low-level moisture from TX into NM will support increasing convection Tuesday afternoon into the overnight hours across NM and west TX. Lapse rates aloft will remain poor with the approach of the remnant tropical/warm core low, but moist profiles and substantial vertical shear with curved hodographs suggest the potential for at least isolated wind damage and possibly a couple of tornadoes with embedded supercells. The severe threat is expected to begin Tuesday afternoon across far west TX and southern NM and continue into Tuesday night/Wednesday morning across the southern High Plains. ..Thompson.. 09/28/2026 $$
