Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lubbock TX
259 PM CDT MON MAY 23 2016

.SHORT TERM...
As in the previous discussion, the atmosphere this afternoon has
become extremely energized over the eastern half of our area for a
risk of very large hail and with enough shear to support at least an
isolated tornado threat. The dryline remains just east of yesterdays
location, but not much. Already seeing bubbling convection over
northern Briscoe and Hall counties, within the convergence zone left
over from last evening. And a more expansive cumulus field lies
across southeast parts of our area. Anyway, a tornado watch has been
issued through 10 pm this evening. We expect a cluster or two,
probably tied closely to the existing low level convergence
boundaries, to move through eastern counties this afternoon into the
early evening. Flooding remains a possible concern but short range
solutions continue to bank on better storm movement today, so still
withholding a flash flood watch at this time. Activity should
progress east by late evening with activity most likely dwindling
later tonight but some solutions support development later tonight
as the dryline retreats west so we will maintain a low chance of
thunder later tonight as well. Otherwise, we expect low clouds to
expand back west to Lubbock as least, as well as over the Rolling
Plains.

Tuesday is appearing as yet another day with potential severe
storms. Southwest flow aloft will remain perhaps slightly more
backed as low pressure moves from central California into the
southwest. Lower atmosphere will remain very moist and energetic. A
dryline once more will mix somewhere over the eastern south plains
during the afternoon with chance severe supported along and to the
east. RMcQueen

.LONG TERM...
An active dryline pattern will continue for the area for the rest
of this week. Although, less active for the South Plains and more
likely active for the Rolling Plains. Things may become more
active area wide over the weekend into next week.

We will continue to stay in some form of southwesterly flow aloft
through the week. This will come from a slow moving trough across
the southwestern US this week. Much of the area will see dry
westerly winds west of the dryline with the dryline mixing well to
the east. The upper level trough axis will finally cross the
region on Thursday along with stronger jet level winds. The
dryline may not push east of the Rolling Plains on Thursday
allowing for strong instability to develop over the eastern
Rolling Plains.

The pattern looks to turn more active for a wider area beginning
late this weekend. Westerly flow aloft will back to the southwest
again in advance of additional troughs carving out in the
southwestern US drawing the dryline well back into eastern New
Mexico. Another extended period of thunderstorm activity would
occur through mid week with models showing a deep trough digging
into southern California.
