This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the South Plains, Rolling
Plains and the far Southern Texas Panhandle.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible late this
afternoon into this evening, primarily along and east of the
Interstate 27 and Highway 87 Corridor. Damaging wind gusts to 70
mph, golfball size hail and locally heavy rainfall will be the
primary threats with the most intense storms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Thunderstorm chances, including the risk of strong to severe
thunderstorms, will increase for much of the area by Tuesday
evening.

Otherwise for Wednesday through Sunday, thunderstorm activity
will be much more limited, primarily confined to parts of New
Mexico to our west. Storms forming over the higher terrain in New
Mexico could move into the southwest Panhandle or extreme western
South Plains on any particular day, but probabilities for
hazardous weather are low.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation may be requested late this afternoon into this
evening.
