AREA THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
1145 AM CDT FRI JUN 11 1999

THERE IS SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTH PLAINS
...EXTREME SOUTHERN PANHANDLE AND LOW ROLLING PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

A SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OF ABUNDANT MOISTURE CONTINUED INTO NORTHWEST
TEXAS LATE THIS MORNING AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS ALREADY BECOMING VERY
UNSTABLE.  AT 1130 AM...THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED OVER THE EASTERN
PANHANDLE TO THE NORTH OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WHICH WAS PUSHING SOUTH
THROUGH THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PANHANDLE.  THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH BEFORE STALLING OVER THE SOUTH PLAINS
AND LOW ROLLING PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON.  IT WILL LIKELY PROVIDE A
FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON.

ELSEWHERE...THE DRYLINE WAS LOCATED NEAR THE MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO
THIS MORNING.  UNLIKE YESTERDAY...IT IS NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE AS FAR
EAST DURING THE DAY AND SHOULD REMAIN OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS
AFTERNOON.  AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE
WEST MAY HELP INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE DRYLINE THIS
AFTERNOON.  STORMS WHICH FORM ALONG THE DRYLINE WILL MOVE EAST INTO
NORTHWEST TEXAS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

DUE TO THE INSTABILITY AND WINDS STRUCTURE ALOFT...THUNDERSTORM
WHICH FORM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF BECOMING SEVERE PRODUCING
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.  ACTIVATION OF SPOTTER GROUPS. AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY BECOME NECESSARY.
