Large hail up to 1.5 to 2.5" in diameter, and perhaps localized severe wind gusts may accompany these thunderstorms. DISCUSSION...Latest radar imagery from KMAF shows continued attempts of deep moist convection over the Davis Mountains via orographic ascent and easterly upslope flow. Surface observations across this region, combined with modified RAP forecast soundings, suggest localized CINH has eroded here, with very steep mid level lapse rates in place. Large CAPE within the hail growth zone, combined with effective deep layer shear magnitudes of 30-35 kt, will promote some updraft organization. However, more broader scale forcing mechanisms will limit the overall coverage of the severe threat. ..Barnes/Hart.. 05/29/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
