Areas affected...southwest KS...OK Panhandle...northwest TX
Panhandle
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely
Valid 032150Z - 032245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...A large hail/severe gust risk will likely develop to the
east of severe thunderstorm watches 321, 322 with a broken band of
thunderstorms.
DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows storms becoming aligned in a broken
band from near Clayton, NM northeast through southeast CO. RAP
forecast soundings show steep lapse rates from the surface through
300mb (7.5-8.0 degrees C/km). A moist/unstable boundary layer
features lower 60s dewpoints to the east of the developing storms.
Although effective shear is marginal for organized severe storms, it
appears the strong upper tropospheric flow increasing from 50kt to
80kt in the 300mb-200mb layer will compensate for some severe storm
organization when coupled with the steep lapse rate profile. Large
hail and severe gusts are the main severe threats with these storms.
