NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0630 PM CDT Sat May 29 2021
Areas affected...Far southeast CO...Far northeast NM...Western OK
Panhandle...Northwest TX Panhandle
Concerning...Tornado Watch 223...
Valid 292330Z - 300100Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 223 continues.
SUMMARY...The threat for hail, gusty winds, and perhaps a brief
tornado continues across southeast Colorado this evening. Some
severe threat may spread out of WW 223 into far northeast NM and the
western TX/OK Panhandles, with new severe thunderstorm watch
issuance possible.
DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms across far southeast CO will
continue to pose a severe threat into early evening, as moderate
instability is maintained near and downstream of the cluster.
Maintenance and potential upscale growth of this cluster is possible
with time, as a southeasterly low-level jet increases tonight. With
strong MLCINH noted to the east, the cluster would likely take on a
more southeasterly motion if it survives, spreading a severe threat
into portions of far northeast NM and the western OK/northwest TX
Panhandles. Large hail will probably remain the most likely hazard
in the short term, associated with stronger multicells or transient
supercells within the cluster. A somewhat greater severe wind risk
may evolve with time, especially if more substantial upscale growth
can occur.
Downstream watch issuance into portions of the western TX/OK
Panhandles and possibly far northeast NM is possible if trends
support a substantial severe threat into these areas later this
evening.
