TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
100 PM CDT SAT JUN 27 1992

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT ACROSS ALL OF THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES.

THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES IS MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE AND
WILL BECOME EVEN MORE UNSTABLE BY LATE AFTERNOON BECAUSE OF DAYTIME
HEATING. DEWPOINTS WERE ALREADY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S.

MOIST SOUTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE PANHANDLES WERE CONVERGING WITH
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO. THIS AREA OF
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE TEXAS-NEW MEXICO STATE LINE WILL BECOME EVEN
MORE PRONOUNCED BY LATE AFTERNOON AS A WEATHER DISTURBANCE OVER
COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO MOVES CLOSER.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOST LIKELY TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN
EASTERN NEW MEXICO OR THE WESTERN PANHANDLES ALONG THE CONVERGENCE
LINE. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL THEN MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES DURING THE EVENING AND NIGHTTIME HOURS. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...
WITH HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN BEING THE MAIN THREATS.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY WITH THE STRONGER STORMS...
PRODUCING FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS OR PLACES WHERE THE GROUND IS
ALREADY SATURATED FROM RAINFALL OF THE PAST FEW DAYS.

SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ACROSS ALL OF THE TEXAS
AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES SHOULD BE READWY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION
THIS AFTERNOON OR TONIGHT.
