PANHANDLE WAS ALREADY UNSTABLE.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL WEATHER DISTURBANCE EXTENDED FROM SOUTHWEST NEW

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS ALL OF THE PANHANDLES. A
FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREA
AND CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. IF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS.
