Areas affected...Texas Panhandle into South Plains

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 121951Z - 122145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and severe gusts will be possible with
the strongest storms in the Texas Panhandle/South Plains.

DISCUSSION...Isolated storms have developed along the dryline as
mid-level ascent has increased this afternoon. With low-level
easterly flow and copious cloud cover ahead of this activity, a very
narrow zone of modest buoyancy has developed. Shear is not
particularly strong with northern extent, but does increase in the
South Plains. The primary risk with these strong to marginally
severe storms will be isolated large hail and severe gusts. Storms
will likely weaken relatively quickly as they encounter the stable
conditions to the east.
