AREAS AFFECTED...NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST TEXAS
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 463...
VALID 052206Z - 052330Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 463
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...OCCASIONAL SEVERE OUTFLOW GUSTS OF 60-75 MPH WILL BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT THE NEXT FEW HOURS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
NORTHWEST TEXAS. THE SEVERE THREAT MAY EXTEND INTO THE MIDLAND CWA,
OUTSIDE THE CURRENT WATCH.
DISCUSSION...MULTICELL STORM CLUSTERS HAVE FORMED THIS AFTERNOON
FROM THE TX SOUTH PLAINS INTO NORTHWEST TX, AND A SEPARATE AREA OF
STORMS IS ONGOING IN NORTHEAST TX. THE EASTERN STORMS WILL POSE A
THREAT FOR OCCASIONAL WET MICROBURSTS AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS SLOWLY
SOUTHWARD ON OUTFLOW. LARGER STORM CLUSTERS WITH MULTIPLE OUTFLOW
SURGES ARE ONGOING ACROSS NORTHWEST TX. THE STORMS ARE DEVELOPING
SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE ZONE OF STRONGEST SURFACE HEATING WITH THE
STEEPEST LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES, ROUGHLY OUTLINED IN THE CUMULUS
FIELD THAT EXTENDS TO ABOUT SWEETWATER. THIS ZONE WILL ENCOMPASS
THE RELATIVELY GREATER THREAT FOR SEVERE OUTFLOW WINDS WITH HYBRID
MICROBURSTS INTO THIS EVENING, ESPECIALLY WITH CELL AND OUTFLOW
MERGERS.
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE IS A BIT MORE LIMITED TOWARD LUBBOCK AND THE WEST
PART OF THE WATCH. HOWEVER, DEEP INVERTED-V PROFILES FAVOR STRONG
DOWNDRAFTS. THE MORE PROBABLE AREA FOR SEVERE GUSTS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS WILL BE WITH NEW STORM DEVELOPMENT IMMEDIATELY
NORTHEAST OF AND INTO THE LUBBOCK AREA WHERE NORTH-SOUTH AND
EAST-WEST OUTFLOW SEGMENTS MERGE.
