NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0432 PM CDT WED JUL 01 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF WESTERN KS...FAR SOUTHEASTERN CO...AND THE
FAR NORTHERN OK PANHANDLE
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY
VALID 012132Z - 012330Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT
SUMMARY...THE RISK OF SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL
INCREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A WATCH IS LIKELY.
DISCUSSION...TO THE WEST OF A NORTH/SOUTH-ORIENTED DRYLINE IN
SOUTHWEST KS, BOUNDARY-LAYER CUMULUS IS DEEPENING WITHIN THE
HOT/WELL-MIXED AIR OVER SOUTHEASTERN CO AND NORTHEASTERN NM. AS A
SUBTLE MIDLEVEL IMPULSE OVER NORTHEASTERN NM (EVIDENT IN WATER-VAPOR
IMAGERY) OVERSPREADS THE AREA, WIDELY SCATTERED HIGH-BASED
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD EVOLVE EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO A MOIST,
DIURNALLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS OVER WESTERN KS AND VICINITY. THE DDC
18Z SOUNDING SAMPLED STEEP DEEP-LAYER LAPSE RATES, WHICH WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROBUST OUTFLOW WITH A MIX OF
LOOSELY ORGANIZED CLUSTERS AND SOME SUPERCELL STRUCTURES (AIDED BY
AROUND 30-40 KT OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR). WHILE SEVERE GUSTS WILL BE THE
MAIN CONCERN, ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
MORE SEPARATED UPDRAFTS INITIALLY. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT A WATCH
WILL BE NEEDED.
