.AVIATION...

VFR conditions will continue for the next 24 hours. Included a
TEMPO at LBB until 02Z for gusty winds with a thunderstorm over
southwest Lubbock. Southeasterly winds will become more southerly
around 10-15 kts after 15Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 320 PM CDT Tue Jun 5 2018/

DISCUSSION...
An upper level ridge extends from Chihuahua to Colorado thence
NNEWRD into Manitoba and beyond.   This feature will slowly drift
eastward becoming more squarely planted across West Texas tomorrow
with high pressure nearly overhead into the weekend.  By Saturday
night, a potent upper trough will pivot about a low pressure center
west of the BC coast in a negatively tilted fashion making its
point of closes approach late Sunday evening. This will compress
to the high southward perhaps temporarily giving the mid level
flow a bit of a WSWRLY component before the ridge builds back in
early next week.

For today, thunderstorm activity should be relegated to the areas
east of the Caprock Escarpment and favoring areas up toward
Childress.  A number of solutions depict convection moving out of
the eastern Panhandle though mid-day satellite imagery shows weak
surface gradients and no clouds across that part of the state.  Any
activity which manages to get going in our area should move
southeast (supercells more southerly). Initially, the available
storm moisture is most favorable about 12kft. Given available
instability, golf ball hail and wind to 70mph appear to be the
most likely threat. That said, some storm-scale airmass
modification could push hail sizes higher.

Into Wednesday and Thursday, overall conditions do not appear
terribly favorable for convective initiation though a few scattered
storms are possible with areas out east having the best shot for
storms once again. Thereafter, diurnal convection will likely be
influenced by the previous day's activity and so we have
broadbrushed POPs more liberally in the latter extended.
