STILL LOOKING AN ACTIVE 12-24 HOURS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS WITH
THE POTENTIAL TO STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ACROSS
THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY- EXTENDING WEST
TO EAST FROM ANDREWS TO SOUTH OF BIG SPRING TO NEAR STERLING CITY-
IS ALSO NOTED ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. MEANWHILE, WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS AN UPPER LOW SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN ARIZONA.
THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING LOOKS RELATIVELY
QUIET ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA- WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OR IN
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM POSSIBLE IN THE WARM ADVECTION REGIME.
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP TO OUR WEST
IN THE PERMIAN BASIN DOWN INTO THE STOCKTON PLATEAU ALONG THE DRY
LINE. WILL NEED TO MONITOR OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES THOUGH WHERE
THERE ARE MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS. ANY STORM THAT CAN DEVELOP
THIS EVENING WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SEVERE GIVEN MU CAPE
VALUES OVER 2500 J/KG AND BULK SHEAR VALUES OVER 50 KNOTS. CAMS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE MORE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TO OUR WEST AND SOUTHWEST- AS
LARGE SCALE ASCENT OVERSPREADS THE REGION. THESE STORMS COULD BE
IN THE FORM OF BOTH SUPERCELLS AND BOWING SEGMENTS BEFORE
CONGEALING INTO A SQUALL LINE. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS ALTHOUGH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
ARE THE MAIN THREATS. FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN IN
THE HEAVIEST STORMS AND WILL LEAVE THE FLOOD WATCH AS IS FOR THE
NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CLEAR THE AREA
BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON. BREEZY AND SUNNY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
IN THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE 70S AND 80S.
LONG TERM
(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 224 PM CDT MON MAY 5 2025
A QUIETER WEATHER PATTERN WILL DEVELOP BY MID TO LATE WEEK AND
PERSIST INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE INTO
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS BY LATE WEDNESDAY, WITH A TRAILING
SHORTWAVE EXTENDING BACK INTO NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA. COULD SEE
SOME SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP WEDNESDAY EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT AS THIS SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE AREA. MODELS DIFFER
REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL HOWEVER, SO NBM LOW POPS SEEM REASONABLE
AT THIS TIME. OTHERWISE, DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD, WITH COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
FIRST PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NEAR
NORMAL LATE THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK, AS RIDGING ALOFT
DEVELOPS ACROSS THE PLAINS.
