Areas affected...Parts of the Texas South Plain and northwest Texas
into southwestern Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 222301Z - 230100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorm development is possible
across parts of the Texas South Plains into northwest Texas through
9-11 PM CDT. Mostly marginally severe hail appears the primary
hazard, but potential for gusty winds could increase by late
evening.
DISCUSSION...Models suggest that upper flow is becoming increasingly
divergent across the Texas Panhandle and South Plains region, within
the left exit region of a fairly strong cyclonic mid/upper jet
nosing northeastward into/through the Texas Big Bend region. Recent thunderstorm initiation across the South Plains, west/northwest of
Snyder, appears to be associated with a zone of lower/mid
tropospheric warm advection. This is on the northwestern periphery
of a broad plume of elevated mixed-layer air advecting northwest of
the Rio Grande Valley, where mid-level inhibition is relatively weak
and forecast to continue weakening in response to increasing
large-scale ascent.
Initial convection also appears to be occurring above/to the cool
northwest side of a surface frontal zone which has surged southward
through much of the Texas South Plains. However, sustained
convergence along the frontal may support additional thunderstorm
development, in the presence of modest mixed-layer CAPE of 1000-1500
J/kg.
Lower/mid tropospheric wind fields are expected to remain rather
weak across this region, with only gradual strengthening of
south-southwesterly deep layer mean flow from 20-30 kt through the
evening associated with the northeastward progression of the upper
jet. However, deep layer shear is becoming strong, and could
gradually support an organizing cluster of thunderstorms near the
front, south through southeast of Lubbock into the vicinity of
Childress through 02-04Z. Mostly marginally severe hail may be the
primary severe hazard into isolated stronger storms, but a
consolidating, strengthening surface cold pool could gradually be
accompanied by gusty surface winds by late evening.
