DAY 1 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1014 AM CST SAT MAR 08 2014

VALID 081630Z - 091200Z

...NO SVR TSTM AREAS FORECAST...

...AZ/NM/SOUTHWEST TX...
MORNING WATER VAPOR LOOPS SHOW CYCLONIC FLOW OVER MOST OF THE
CONUS...WITH A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST STATES.
COLD MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES AND STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL PROMOTE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHERN AZ/NM AND SOUTHWEST TX.

...SOUTH TX...
A COLD FRONT IS SAGGING SOUTHWARD ACROSS CENTRAL TX...AND WILL REACH
SOUTH TX BY THIS EVENING.  INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT
IN ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT...MAINLY AFTER DARK.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
SUFFICIENT SHEAR TO PROMOTE SOME CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION.  THE
STRONGEST STORMS MAY POSE A RISK OF HAIL.  HOWEVER...PRESENT
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE HAIL IS LOW.
