TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
100 PM CDT WED APR 28 1993

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

EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES WAS VERY
MOIST. DEWPOINTS WERE QUITE HIGH AND WERE IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S.
THE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THAT PREVAILED WERE KEEPING TEMPERATURES IN
THE UPPER 50S AND 60S.

BY LATE AFTERNOON...CLOUD COVER WILL DECREASE SOMEWHAT...ALLOWING
TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S AND 70S. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BECOME VERY UNSTABLE BY THAT TIME. THE DRYLINE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...UPSLOPE SOUTHEAST
WINDS WILL COMBINE WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL WEATHER
DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM COLORADO TO PRODUCE SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PANHANDLES THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE
MOST LIKELY AREA FOR INITIAL THUNDERSTORM FORMATION WILL BE ACROSS
THE WESTERN HALVES OF THE PANHANDLES.

SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. THE GREATEST THREATS FROM THE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL...
STRONG WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

THE STORMS WILL MAINLY MOVE TO THE EAST AT 15 TO 25 MPH.

SPOTTER GROUPS ACROSS THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES SHOULD REMAIN
ALERT AND BE READY FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION THIS AFTEbRNOON AND
TONIGHT.
