DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

VALID 250100Z - 251200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS...
..SUMMARY
ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND SEVERE GUSTS REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS.
..01Z UPDATE
EXTENSIVE MID-HIGH CLOUDINESS APPEARS TO BE PARTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE LACK OF DEEP BOUNDARY-LAYER CU ACROSS THE TX SOUTH PLAINS INTO
THE PERMIAN BASIN EARLY THIS EVENING. WHILE SURFACE TEMPERATURES
WARMED INTO THE MID 80S ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN, WEAK INHIBITION
PERSISTS ACROSS THIS REGION. 00Z SOUNDING FROM MAF SUPPORTS THIS,
WITH A WARM LAYER AT 700MB SERVING AS A CAP FOR SURFACE-BASED
PARCELS. WHILE SEVERAL HREF MEMBERS SUGGESTED DEEP CONVECTION WOULD
HAVE DEVELOPED BY EARLY EVENING, THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT DEEP
CONVECTION MAY REMAIN QUITE ISOLATED, IF IT DOES DEVELOP AT THIS
LATITUDE. AS LLJ STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS TONIGHT THERE
SHOULD BE AN INCREASE IN ELEVATED CONVECTION FARTHER NORTH ACROSS
PORTIONS OF OK/KS. STORMS THAT DEVELOP DUE TO WARM ADVECTION COULD
GENERATE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. WILL MAINTAIN LOW SEVERE
PROBABILITIES TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE SCENARIOS.
