1130 AM CDT SAT JUN 2 2007

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

CONVECTIVE

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF THE
EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE...SOUTH PLAINS AND ROLLING
PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. MODERATE INSTABILITY DUE TO
ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COUPLED WITH NUMEROUS OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL FLOW
SHOULD REMAIN RATHER WEAK SO ONLY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON. ADDITIONALLY...A COMPLEX OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
NEW MEXICO AND SOUTHEAST COLORADO. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
EVOLVE INTO AN ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE SYSTEM AND ADVANCE ACROSS THE
SOUTH PLAINS THIS EVENING. THE MAIN THREATS WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL
BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. ISOLATED TORNADOES CANNOT BE
RULED OUT.

FLOODING

DUE TO RECENT HEAVY RAINS...SOILS OVER MUCH OF THE REGION REMAIN
MOIST TO NEARLY SATURATED. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL FROM
THUNDERSTORMS MAY PRODUCE A LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING THREAT FROM
LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON AND
EVENING NEAR A WEAK COLD FRONT AND REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
THAT ARE EXPECTED TO LIE ACROSS THE AREA. ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS
WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME SEVERE.

BEYOND MONDAY UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD OVER
THE AREA AND IS EXPECTED TO PRECLUDE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS
EVENING.
