AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST CO...SOUTHWEST KS...NORTHEAST NM...OK AND
NORTHERN TX PANHANDLES
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 566...567...
VALID 030047Z - 030215Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 566, 567
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A LARGE-HAIL THREAT WILL CONTINUE IN THE SHORT TERM, WITH
SOME INCREASE IN THE SEVERE-WIND THREAT POSSIBLE WITH TIME.
DISCUSSION...MULTIPLE SUPERCELLS HAVE RECENTLY INTENSIFIED ACROSS
SOUTHEAST CO, AS HIGH-BASED CONVECTION AND ATTENDANT OUTFLOW HAS
ENCOUNTERED A MORE UNSTABLE AND LESS CAPPED ENVIRONMENT. STEEP LAPSE
RATES, MLCAPE NEAR/ABOVE 2000 J/KG, AND MODERATE EFFECTIVE SHEAR
WITHIN THE MIDLEVEL NORTHWESTERLY FLOW REGIME WILL SUPPORT A
SHORT-TERM THREAT FOR LARGE TO VERY LARGE HAIL WITH THESE CELLS,
ALONG WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE GUSTS AND
POSSIBLY A TORNADO. STORM MERGERS AND EXPANDING OUTFLOW ARE EXPECTED
TO EVENTUALLY RESULT IN SOME UPSCALE GROWTH, WHICH WOULD BE AIDED BY
A MODESTLY STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET THROUGH THE EVENING. THIS
EVOLUTION COULD LEAD TO A GREATER COVERAGE OF SEVERE-WIND POTENTIAL
WITH TIME.
FARTHER SOUTH, MULTIPLE STRONG TO SEVERE CELLS HAVE PERSISTED ACROSS
UNION COUNTY, NM. WHILE CINH REMAINS DOWNSTREAM, ONE OR MORE OF
THESE STORMS MAY EVENTUALLY MOVE INTO THE WESTERN OK/TX PANHANDLES
WITH AT LEAST A LOCALIZED SEVERE HAIL/WIND THREAT, ESPECIALLY IF ANY
CLUSTERING CAN OCCUR.
NEW WATCH ISSUANCE IS POSSIBLE INTO MORE OF THE OK/TX PANHANDLES
LATER THIS EVENING, ESPECIALLY IF AN ORGANIZED MCS EVOLVES ACROSS
SOUTHEAST CO AND MOVES SOUTHEASTWARD, AS SUGGESTED BY RECENT
SHORT-TERM CAM GUIDANCE.
