AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS...SOUTHEASTERN

PANHANDLES
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 052229Z - 052330Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...STORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND SEVERE GUSTS ARE ONGOING
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS, SOUTHEASTERN
COLORADO, NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO, AND THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA
PANHANDLES. A WATCH APPEARS UNLIKELY, HOWEVER TRENDS WILL BE
MONITORED.
DISCUSSION...STORMS ARE ONGOING TO THE SOUTH OF A STATIONARY
BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS WEST-CENTRAL KANSAS AND EAST-CENTRAL
COLORADO. SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY, MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AND STRONG
SURFACE HEATING HAVE RESULTED IN MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY
(1500-2500 J/KG MLCAPE) WITH STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES. FLOW ALOFT
IS FAIRLY WEAK, WHICH YIELDS ABOUT 25-35 KTS OF EFFECTIVE BULK
SHEAR, SO THE MULTICELL CHARACTER OF CONVECTION WITH OCCASIONAL
TRANSIENT SUPERCELLS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. THE SUPERCELL
UPDRAFTS MAY POSE A RISK FOR LARGE HAIL THIS EVENING, GIVEN THE
FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT ALONG WITH STRAIGHT-LINE
HODOGRAPHS. ADDITIONALLY, THE STRONGEST CLUSTERS OF STORMS MAY
PRODUCE SEVERE GUSTS GIVEN THE STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES BEFORE
THE DIURNAL INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE INHIBITION LATER THIS EVENING. A
WATCH SEEMS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME, BUT TRENDS WILL BE MONITORED.
