UPDATE...
Pops adjusted over the next 12 hours to account for storms moving
through the Panhandles tonight. Severe Thunderstorm Watch in
effect until 4AM CDT for the entire Panhandles. Strong damaging
winds and large hail will be the main threats, with brief spin up
tornadoes possible.

AVIATION...00Z TAFS...
Mostly VFR conditions for the TAF period, but MVFR/IFR will not be
ruled out, as a cold front will move across the Panhandles
starting around 1-2z. This will likely be supplemented with a
line of storms. So expect a surge of north winds and -TSRA TEMPO
groups have been noted for the thunderstorm potential. Will make
amendments as needed if the frontal system speeds up/slows down.
After the front moves through, VFR conditions expected to occur at
all sites, for the remainder of the period. Winds will diminish
to less than 15kts after 09z. Scattered mid and high clouds will
give way to clear skies at the end of the forecast period. The
only thing to watch, will be if IFR cigs hold a little longer due
to excessive rainfall and significant moistening of the lowest
levels. Again, will make amendments if necessary for this outcome.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 341 PM CDT Sun Jun 24 2018/

DISCUSSION...
None of the models today have depicted how things have gone so
far, so the forecast is pretty low confidence. Convection this
morning in the northeast and in OK has pushed a strong outflow
boundary through the area. This has created cloud cover and cool
east winds that have severely hampered severe threats for tonight.
The area is still recovering with some places such as Dalhart
still having low clouds, and temps across the area are only in the
low 70s to low 80s in the far south. A special 19Z sounding has
the area still capped. The only CAM that has any indication of
convection in the appropriate location in OK is the 15Z HRRR. If
it verifies, then the front that is progged to push into the
Panhandles tonight will bring a line of convection with it from
CO. Think that there could be some slight chance for storms with
the front to have some severe hail or winds but the tornado
threat is quite diminished. The front is likely to bring some
gusty winds with it.

The remainder of the period is far more uneventful as the mid
level closed low in eastern WY/western SD travels slowly into NE
and high pressure builds into the southern US through the week.
This will leave the Panhandles in dry and warm conditions. By the
end of the week, the next long wave upper level trough pushes
onshore in the west and will swing the area into southwest flow.
The weekend will see the next round of showers and thunderstorms
possible.
