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 LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PANHANDLE AND THE
NORTHERN ROLLING PLAINS.

A DRYLINE LOCATED NEAR A DIMMITT TO FLOYDADA TO CLAIREMONT LINE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON MAY SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE DRYLINE LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE MODERATE AMOUNTS
OF INSTABILITY WHILE THE WIND PROFILE IN THE LOWEST PART OF THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELLS
SHOULD ANY THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. THE MAIN WEATHER THREAT WILL BE
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS
THE EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN PANHANDLE AND WESTERN SOUTH PLAINS
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN
EFFECT.

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
DRYLINE OVER MAINLY THE ROLLING PLAINS ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND
ACROSS ALL SECTIONS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME
SEVERE EACH OF THESE DAYS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
