    Mesoscale Discussion 1321

    Areas affected...the southern High Plains

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 182334Z - 190130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms are expected to continue developing southeastward
    toward the OK/TX panhandle region, with an overall increase in
    coverage through evening. A few storms may produce severe wind or
    hail.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered storms currently exist from western KS into
    northeast NM, ahead of a weak cold front and shortwave trough aloft.
    The area is characterized by a moderately unstable air mass with
    modest lapse rates aloft, and weakly veering winds with height.
    Storm mode has been mixed through early evening, but a more linear
    structure has formed over northeast NM, which will be entering into
    the western Panhandles shortly. Other slow-moving cells persist over
    western KS, with isolated severe hail cores noted on radar.

    As the shortwave trough continues to shift southeast, lift will be
    maintained over the region. Visible satellite imagery shows a
    substantial CU field over the TX/OK Panhandles, indicative of little
    if any inhibition and likely supportive of continued storm formation/sustenance. As such, a watch will be considered.
