TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
100 PM CDT FRI JUN 12 1992

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ACROSS THE WESTERN HALVES OF THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLES.
THE AREA IS GENERALLY WEST OF A LINE EXTENDING FROM GUYMON OKLAHOMA TO
AMARILLO TEXAS.

THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE PANHANDLES REMAINS MOIST AND IS BECOMING
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO DAYTIME HEATING. UPSLOPE
SOUTHEAST WINDS AND A WEAK WEATHER DISTURBANCE MOVING IN FROM CENTRAL
NEW MEXICO WILL ACT ON THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO CAUSE ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM LATER THIS AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO THE
NIGHTTIME HOURS.

THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FIRST DEVELOP IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND
SOUTHEAST COLORADO...THEN MOVE SOUTEHAST INTO THE PANHANDLES. THE BEST
CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR TO BE IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA
...WHERE SOME OF THEM MAY BECOME SEVERE. THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION...BECAUSE THE GROUND REMAINS SATURATED...HEAVY RAINS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGER STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCAL FLOODING OR FLASH
FLOODING.

SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN THE WESTERN HALVES
OF THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLES SHOULD REMAIN ALERT AND BE READY FOR
ACTIVATION LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING IF NECESSARYx.
