Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible on Sunday from west Texas to central Missouri. ...Southern Plains to Missouri... The Marginal Risk has been expanded somewhat across west TX, but the forecast scenario remains similar. While some uncertainty remains regarding the most favorable corridor, strong to locally severe storms will be possible from the TX Permian Basin vicinity northeastward into parts of Missouri on Sunday. An upper trough over the central/southern Rockies Sunday morning will track east over the central/southern Plains. Around 40-50 kt southwesterly flow will overspread northwest TX into KS/OK and MO ahead of this feature. At the surface, a cold front will move southeast across the Mid-MS Valley to southern Plains. Convection may be ongoing across portions of the central/southern Plains to the Mid-MS Valley Sunday morning, resulting in some uncertainty regarding destabilization through peak heating. Nevertheless, a seasonably moist airmass and favorable vertical shear will support organized thunderstorm clusters during the afternoon/evening along/ahead of the advancing cold front. Some risk for damaging gusts and/or hail will accompany this activity from parts of west TX into MO. ..Dean.. 09/20/2024 $$
