This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the South Plains, Rolling
Plains, and the far Southern Texas Panhandle.

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

A dryline will move eastward across the South Plains to near a
Memphis to Lake Alan Henry line by late this afternoon. A strong
capping inversion to the east of the dryline could limit
thunderstorm coverage, if not completely quash thunderstorm
development. However, should thunderstorms form, instability and the
wind profile will be sufficient for the potential development of
supercells across the Rolling Plains and far southeastern Panhandle
with a threat for hail to the size of baseballs and damaging wind
gusts to 70 mph. This severe weather threat will be greatest between
4 PM and 10 PM.

To the west of the dryline very dry air and gusty west to southwest
winds will combine with dry fuels to produce elevated to critical
fire weather conditions. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for the
western South Plains and far southwestern Panhandle from noon to 8
PM. A Fire Danger Statement has been posted for the Interstate 27
corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.

Elevated fire weather conditions are possible across most of the
region on Tuesday.

Thunderstorm chances return to the region on Friday through Sunday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be needed this evening.
