TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
100 PM CDT MON JUL 22 1996

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY LATE THIS
EVENING INTO TONIGHT ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AND EXTREME
NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. THE SLIGHT RISK AREA IS NORTH OF A LINE
FROM DALHART TO CANADIAN.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE OUTLOOK
AREA THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A NEARLY STATIONARY COLD FRONT DRAPED FROM
A LOW IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA. ALTHOUGH THE
POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SMALL HAIL FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS...DUE TO
THEIR SLOW MOVEMENT...LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT.
LATER THIS EVENING...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN NUMBER AND INTENSITY AHEAD OF THE
FRONT AS IT INTERACTS WITH A MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER
THE AREA. WIND PROFILES IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BECOME FAVORABLE FOR STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS AT THE SURFACE. IN
ADDITION...STORMS REPEATEDLY MOVING OVER THE SAME AREA WILL FURTHER
COMPLICATE THE FLOOD THREAT.

ON TUESDAY...THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL EXPAND TO INCLUDE
NEARLY ALL OF THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES. AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL COMBINE WITH A NEARLY STATIONARY COLD FRONT ACROSS
THE AREA TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS. DAMAGING WINDS AND
SOME LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE STORMS.

SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA
PANHANDLE AND EXTREME NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE SHOULD REMAIN ALERT
FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT.
