Isolated severe hail is possible from Sunday late afternoon into Sunday night across parts of west to north-central Texas. ...Synopsis... A positive-tilt shortwave trough will progress from the Southwest into the central/southern High Plains through early Monday. This will induce a weak surface wave over eastern CO, displaced well north of a front that is currently along the Upper TX Coast to south TX. This boundary should remain quasi-stationary into Sunday afternoon before gradually advancing north on Sunday night over south-central TX. ...TX Trans-Pecos to north TX... A confined plume of surface-based destabilization should develop into the TX Trans-Pecos by late afternoon, with otherwise elevated buoyancy across western to central TX. Severe potential should commence towards late afternoon with initial cells that may be sustained along the eastern periphery of the surface-based instability corridor before becoming elevated downstream. Within a persistent low-level warm theta-e advection regime, regenerative elevated convection is expected through Monday morning. Mid-level lapse rates appear modest, but adequate low-level moisture should be present amid strong effective bulk shear to pose an isolated severe hail risk. A few supercells might occur early, with a predominately messy cluster mode by Sunday night. This setup could warrant a mesoscale corridor of greater hail probabilities in the Permian Basin vicinity, with lower confidence in the overnight extent of severe potential towards central and north TX. ..Grams.. 11/22/2025 $$
