AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE...SOUTHWEST
OK...AND THE ROLLING PLAINS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 302047Z - 302245Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY SEVERE WIND GUSTS ARE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...BOUNDARY-LAYER CUMULUS IS QUICKLY DEEPENING ALONG A
NORTH/SOUTH-ORIENTED DRYLINE IN PARTS OF THE CENTRAL/EASTERN TX
PANHANDLE INTO THE CAP ROCK AND ROLLING PLAINS. CONFIDENCE IS
INCREASING THAT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT
HOUR OR SO. AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE, TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED INTO THE
LOWER 90S AMID LOWER 60S DEWPOINTS, YIELDING A MODERATELY UNSTABLE
PRE-CONVECTIVE AIR MASS. THIS BUOYANCY, COUPLED WITH AROUND 30 KT OF
EFFECTIVE SHEAR, WILL CONDITIONALLY FAVOR A COUPLE ORGANIZED CELLS
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY SEVERE GUSTS. IT IS
UNCLEAR IF A WATCH WILL BE NEEDED, GIVEN THE POTENTIALLY ISOLATED
STORM COVERAGE, THOUGH CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED.
