   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CENTRAL
   THROUGH SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS REGIONS...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will persist this
   afternoon over the High Plains, and should spread toward lower
   elevations this evening before weakening. Large hail and isolated
   severe wind gusts will be the main threats.

   ...Discussion...

   Previous outlook appears to remain mostly on track. Primary change
   with this update has been to trim modestly along eastern edge of the
   slight risk area over the southern Plains and expand the slight risk
   farther west and closer to the higher terrain over the central High
   Plains. Storms developing over the mountains of NM will spread
   northeast, posing a risk for large hail and gusty winds, and may
   grow upscale into a couple of clusters before weakening as they move
   farther into the High Plains later this evening. Elsewhere, other
   storms developing over the higher terrain will pose an isolated
   large hail and damaging wind threat as they move through the central
   High Plains. Some of this activity may also evolve into a couple of
   small MCSs toward evening.

   ..Dial.. 06/03/2019

   .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1128 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2019/

   ...Central and Southern High Plains...
   A persistent upper ridge axis remains over the central and southern
   High Plains, with little evidence in water vapor imagery or model
   guidance for large-scale forcing mechanisms today.  Nevertheless,
   multiple clusters of rather slow-moving thunderstorms are expected
   to form along this axis this afternoon, as strong daytime heating
   and sufficient low-level moisture are present.  Forecast soundings
   show rather marginal vertical shear profiles for organized severe
   storms, but given pockets of large CAPE and steep midlevel lapse
   rates, a few severe or even supercell storms are expected.  Storms
   should initially pose a risk of hail as they move off the higher
   terrain, with an increasing risk of gusty/damaging winds farther
   east during the evening.

   ...OK/AR...
   Thunderstorms have initiated early today across parts of eastern OK.
   These storms will build slowly eastward into western AR this
   afternoon. Shear profiles are weak, but storm interactions and
   upscale growth could result in a few strong storms capable of gusty
   winds and hail.
