DISCUSSION
EXTENSIVE MCS HAS PUSHED AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THROUGH N TX WHILE
VWP DATA AT KTLX / KFDR SUGGEST THE INFLUENCE OF THE MODIFIED
AIRMASS IS AROUND 2KFT DEEP. ONGOING CONVECTION WITHIN THE WARM
ADVECTION REGIME ATOP THE STABILIZED LAYER WILL FURTHER DELAY
MODIFICATION THROUGH THE DAY. EVOLUTION OF THE MORNING CONVECTION
IS UNCERTAIN BUT EXPECTATION IS THAT A FESTERING WILL REMAIN
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AT LEAST THROUGH MID MORNING AND POSSIBLY
LONGER. THE FOCUS FOR AFTERNOON WILL BE THE AFOREMENTIONED OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY AND THIS FORECAST WILL SIDE TOWARD A MORE SOUTHERN
PLACEMENT OF THE BOUNDARY THAN SHOWN BY MODELED SOLUTION. WHILE
CAM SOLUTIONS OFFER THE BEST CHANCE OF HANDLING THE BOUNDARY LAYER
EVOLUTION THE CURRENT AGGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE OUTFLOW COMPARED
TO SHORT TERM PROGS SUGGEST THAN EVEN THE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS
MAY BE UNDERESTIMATING THE OUTFLOW DEPTH. REGARDLESS STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE EVENTUAL BOUNDARY LOCATION AS A
SUBTLE WAVE PASSES AND ACTS ON A STRONGLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS.
INHIBITION WILL REMAIN STRONG THROUGH MID AFTERNOON THUS STORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL BE SOMEWHAT DELAYED AND EXPAND IN COVERAGE
PRIMARILY THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. GIVEN THE EXPECTED DEGREE OF
INSTABILITY THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE WEATHER.
A STRONG WAVE FOR LATE JUNE IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY RESET THE SFC
PATTERN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD STORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
THE WESTERN PLAINS AND SPREAD E-NE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AND QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE. THE EXPANDING WARM MID LEVEL TEMPS
/SAMPLED BY 23/00Z WEST AND CENTRAL TX RAOBS/ WILL OFFER A SHARP
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY FOR STRONGER STORM DEVELOPMENT AND STORM
CHANCES WILL BE CONFINED TO NORTHERN AREAS PER MODEL TRENDS. THESE
WARM TEMPS FURTHER EXPAND ON MONDAY WITH THE TRAILING COLD
FRONTAL CONVECTION LIKELY STRUGGLING TO BUILD SOUTHWARD INTO THE
FORECAST AREA.
THEREAFTER UPPER RIDGING INTENSIFIES ACROSS THE PLAINS AND HOT AND
HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. GIVEN THE RECENT RAINFALL THE
LIKELIHOOD OF EXCESSIVE DAILY DEWPOINTS MAY WELL PUSH PORTIONS OF
THE AREA INTO HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA FOR MID NEXT WEEK.
