Expiration: 200 PM CDT MON OCT 13 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO...SOUTHWEST TEXAS AND WEST TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAINS ACROSS ALL OF
WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE OVERNIGHT. A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BECOME STRONG OR SEVERE. THE BEST CHANCE FOR
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE FROM THE WESTERN PERMIAN BASIN INTO
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. HAIL AND TO A LESSER DEGREE LOCALLY STRONG
WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS. ALTHOUGH THE MOISTURE CONTENT IS
HIGH STORMS WILL BE MOVING RAPIDLY TO NORTHEAST AND FOR THE MOST
PART ANY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE BRIEF.

WATER RELEASES FROM LUIS LEON RESERVOIR IN MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO
RESULT IN FLOODING ALONG THE RIO GRANDE FROM PRESIDIO TO RIO GRANDE
VILLAGE. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL RAINFALL...WHICH COULD BE HEAVY AT
TIMES...WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE FLOODING CONCERNS ALONG
THE RIO GRANDE. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE
PRESIDIO VALLEY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE AS WILL
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THE MOST FAVORED AREA FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN.

FLOODING IS ALSO EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE
VALLEY DUE TO CONTINUED RELEASES FROM LUIS LEON RESERVOIR IN
MEXICO. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO INCREASE THE FLOODING
POTENTIAL ALONG THE RIO GRANDE MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUESTED LATER TODAY...MAINLY IN
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST AND NORTHWEST PERMIAN BASIN.
