* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- An early season back door cool front will interact with a late
season plume of deep tropical moisture, bringing several rounds
of thunderstorms with torrential downpours to the region Tuesday
afternoon through Wednesday evening. Repeated thunderstorms may
tend to focus in one or two areas, resulting in higher end
precipitation totals. The most critical period with the heaviest
rain potential will likely be Tuesday night into Wednesday
morning.

further to the west, closer to El Paso and the Tularosa Basin.
However, more widely scattered thunderstorms with torrential
rainfall are possible in eastern Hudspeth County.
