INTO EVENING. LOW CHANCE FOR STORMS TO BE SEVERE WITH 1" HAIL
AND 60 MPH WINDS.

SHORT TERM
(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 225 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TX
PANHANDLE AS OF THIS WRITING. THIS LINE OF ACTIVITY SHOULD
DIMINISH AND/OR EXIT THE AREA. HOWEVER, THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE
THE COMBINED PANHANDLES ARE SEEING, COULD COMBINE WITH ANY SUBTLE
PERTURBATION ALOFT OF LOW LEVEL JET AND CREATE SOME ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WELL INTO THE LATE MORNING.
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MINIMAL GOING INTO TODAY, AS TUESDAY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A FAIRLY QUITE DAY WITH A BREAK FROM ACTIVITY.
HOWEVER, LOOKING AT SOME BUFKIT SOUNDINGS, THERE ARE SOME MODELS
LIKE THE GFS THAT MAY STILL CONVECT THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO
CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES BEING REACHED. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW MUCH
BREAKAGE IN THE CLOUDS THE AREA CAN GET GOING INTO THIS AFTERNOON
IN ORDER TO POP A COUPLE OF THUNDERSTORMS. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
BE MORE ISOLATED, BUT IF STORMS CAN BREAK ANY CAP IN PLACE WOULD
NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM.
TONIGHT, WOULD NOT RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. SHOULD PRIMARILY BE QUIET ALTHOUGH. SHOULD NOT BE SEVERE
ACTIVITY EITHER IN THE OVERNIGHT. THE MAIN ACTIVITY WOULD BE WED
MORNING AS MODELS HINT AT A POSSIBLE COMPLEX COMING INTO THE OK
PANHANDLE FROM SW KS JUST BEFORE SUNRISE. THIS ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PASSAGE OF A SHORTWAVE IN NORTHWEST FLOW SHOULD PRIMARILY
ONLY IMPACT THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN OK PANHANDLE INTO FAR
NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF THE TX PANHANDLE WED MORNING. THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT BE SEVERE. LATER IN THE DAY, LATE AFTERNOON
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT COMBINED WITH DAY
TIME HEATING MAY BRING IN SOME SEVERE STORMS LATE WED. MODELS
HINT AT A LINE OF STORMS MOVING FROM THE WNW TO ESE THROUGH THE
AREA TOMORROW EVENING. THERE WILL BE A SEVERE THREAT WITH THIS
ACTIVITY. RIGHT NOW THIS MESSY CONVECTIVE MODE DAY LOOKS TO BE
PRIMARILY A WIND BAG DAY.

LONG TERM
(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 225 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THURSDAY POST FRONT. THE NBM
DOES GIVE 20 TO 30 POPS IN THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN COMBINED
PANHANDLES THU AFTERNOON. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOLUTIONS THAT
SUGGEST THAT THERE SHOULD BE A BREAK IN ACTUAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS.
TEMPERATURES REBOUND TO NEAR NORMAL FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY. THE NBM
DOES NOT HAVE VERY HIGH POPS, LESS THAN 20, THROUGH THIS TIME.
HOWEVER, UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW WOULD NOT RULE OUT MORE CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. THE COMBINED PANHANDLES WILL CONTINUE TO SEE GREAT
H7 THETA-E ADVECTION AND DECENT SURFACE MOISTURE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THERE SHOULD BE A SLIGHT WARMING TREND GOING INTO THE THE
START OF JUNE, ON SUNDAY, AS TEMPERATURES TRY TO REACH THE LOWER
90S ON MONDAY.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 517 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2025
INCREASED MOISTURE IN THE AREA HAS LOW CLOUDS IMPACTING THE
COMBINED PANHANDLES THIS MORNING. CIGS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR
CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON, MAINLY AFTER 18Z. THERE IS A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THIS
12Z TAF PERIOD. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IN ANY ONE TERMINAL BEING
IMPACTED IS LOW, AND HAVE LEFT ANY MENTIONS OF THUNDER OUT OF THE
TAFS AT THIS TIME. WINDS MAY VARY IN DIRECTION THROUGH THE PERIOD
BUT SHOULD GENERALLY STAY BELOW 10 KTS.
