OKZ001>003-TXZ001>026-072300- TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 615 AM CDT SUN MAY 7 1995 THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY ACROSS THE PANHANDLES. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAIN STATES WHICH WILL CAUSE THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE AREA TO BECOME UNSTABLE. THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA ALREADY CONTAINS SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL ALSO BECOME FAVORABLE AS THE DRYLINE AND DAYTIME SURFACE HEATING ENHANCE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER TODAY. SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. RS
