Areas affected...Portions of southwest...western and northwest Texas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 141932Z - 142100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms have developed near a dryline over the area.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed later this afternoon.
DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms have developed over the last
hour, one area southwest of Sweetwater along a narrow, northward
surge of higher boundary-layer moisture, and the other over the
Davis Mountains over the southwestern portion of the area.
Dewpoints in the mid-to-upper 60s and temperatures in the upper 80s
have contributed to moderate to large instability within the
moisture surge east of a dryline over the area. Rather low
effective bulk shear over the northern portion of the area should
preclude storm organization there, but the large instability and
very steep lapse rates, both in low- and mid-levels, will contribute
to a threat for severe wind gusts with any of the storms that
develop, along with a risk for marginally-severe hail. As the
tongue of higher moisture pushes northward, additional thunderstorms
are expected to develop between Sweetwater and Childress, posing a
threat for strong to severe wind gusts and severe hail.
Over the southwestern portion of the area, easterly low-level flow
and a moist, unstable air mass, as seen by the recent 86/67
observation at Sanderson, should maintain storm development eastward
in the next few hours. Additionally, larger deep-layer shear in the
stronger sub-tropical flow should maintain storm organization,
including supercells, and the threat for severe wind gusts and hail
over this time. Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop in
between the above mentioned areas, affecting the San Angelo area in
the next few hours with similar threats for severe wind and hail.
The lack of stronger deep-layer shear over most of the area, and
subsequent expectation of disorganized storm modes, is preventing a
more certain determination of Watch issuance this afternoon. But if
widespread storm development occurs along the moisture surge, as
suggested by some high-resolution guidance, a Severe Thunderstorm
Watch may be needed.
