HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

YOAKUM-TERRY-LYNN-GARZA-KENT-STONEWALL-
1143 AM CDT MON MAY 28 2007

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE...SOUTH PLAINS AND ROLLING PLAINS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN SOUTH PLAINS INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN AS A DISTURBANCE
MOVES OUT OF NEW MEXICO INTO WEST TEXAS. STRONG DAYTIME HEATING
IN THE PRESENCE OF THIS DISTURBANCE WILL GENERATE MODERATE
INSTABILITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH WIND
FIELDS REMAIN WEAK...SUFFICIENT TURNING WITH HEIGHT MAY ALLOW A
FEW STORMS TO ORGANIZE AND BECOME SEVERE. THE MAIN THREAT FROM
THESE STORMS WILL BE HAIL UP TO ONE INCH AND WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO ORGANIZE INTO A CLUSTER AND MOVE
EAST INTO THE WESTERN ROLLING PLAINS THIS EVENING. AREAS SOUTH OF
A LINE FROM LEVELLAND TO JAYTON WILL MOST LIKELY EXPERIENCE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...INCLUDING LAKE ALAN
HENRY.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY
OF THE CAPROCK ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN PANHANDLE. THUNDERSTORMS
HERE ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE ISOLATED BUT SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY
COULD RESULT IN HAIL TO QUARTER SIZE AND WIND GUSTS APPROACHING 60
MPH FROM THE STRONGEST STORMS.

LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL ALSO REMAIN A CONCERN TODAY DUE TO HIGH
MOISTURE LEVELS IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND ANTICIPATED SLOW STORM
MOTION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA AND A DRYLINE EXTENDS SOUTH IN THE
VICINITY OF THE CAPROCK. A STORM SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES WILL ALLOW STRONGER WESTERLY FLOW IN THE MID LEVELS WHICH
WILL AID STORM ORGANIZATION. STORMS WILL INITIALLY BE ISOLATED
ALONG THE DRYLINE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON BUT BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD AS THEY DEVELOP ALONG THE ADVANCING COLD FRONT DURING
THE EVENING. THE MAIN THREAT FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY...HOWEVER LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD CLOSELY MONITOR THE WEATHER
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN SOUTH PLAINS.
