Area Forecast Discussion

639 PM CDT Sun Jul 4 2021

.AVIATION...
Showers and thunderstorms are possible later this evening into the
early morning hours Monday. Chances will increase for storms in
the vicinity of KPVW and KLBB around midnight tonight, with lesser
chances at KCDS. Light rain showers will persist on and off
after sunrise behind the early morning thunderstorms. More
thunderstorm are possible Monday afternoon but timing and location
is too uncertain at this time for mention in the TAFs.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 155 PM CDT Sun Jul 4 2021/

SHORT TERM...
Northwest flow storms will be the main story over the next 24 hours
with a potential for severe weather associated with this activity.

An upper level ridge will be centered over the four-corners region
today through tomorrow. We may see some upper level support with
convection this evening and overnight. A short wave was diving
southward on the east side of the upper ridge. A weak speed max at
250mb was also over Colorado following this short wave trough. The
latest RAP analyzes this speed max around 45kt and will shift
farther to the southeast into the Texas Panhandle this evening. This
feature was already initiating thunderstorms in the eastern Texas
Panhandle this afternoon. A surface pressure trough has formed in
eastern New Mexico in response to this upper level shortwave over
the Central Plains. A north-south oriented frontal boundary extends
farther north from northeastern New Mexico. Initial development of
widespread convection will be favored along this boundary and will
not likely reach the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle until
after 00Z. Storms that do maintain their strength as they move out
of the Panhandle will be met by very rich low level theta-e air.
However, given how moist the atmospheric column has been over the
past few weeks, lapse rates will not be too impressive over the
South Plains. Much stronger mid level lapse rates will exist farther
north which will allow progged CAPE values to taper off the farther
south you travel. Despite the weak lapse rates, very moist low
levels of the atmosphere will allow for 0-1.5km mixed layer CAPEs
peaking around 1500-2000 J/kg. The 0-1.5km layer looks to be the
most representative average mixed layer today across the entire
South Plains region. Increasing CIN over the South Plains during the
late evening hours and overnight will likely limit the southern
extent of convection. Deep layer shear will further increase this
afternoon and evening ahead of an expected convective complex. This
should be able to garner some organization to the convection into
the South Plains. Although storms will be fairly quick moving, heavy
rainfall and flooding will still be possible. Precipitable water
values are still abnormally high for this time of year which will be
able to generate heavy rainfall.

LONG TERM...
Isolated-to-widely scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are
forecast to develop Tuesday afternoon and evening, especially across
the western portions of the CWA where low-level convergence is
greatest in vicinity of the surface trough. A multi-cellular storm
characteristic is expected once again, and it is uncertain just how
far south the cold front will move late Tuesday into Wednesday,
which may have implications on mean convective movement (i.e.
advection vs. propagation). Regardless, a localized risk for flash
flooding given saturated soils as per recent West Texas Mesonet data
will be possible as little drying of the ground is forecast through
mid-week. If the cold front is able to cross into the Texas Panhandle
region, an isolated wind-damage risk may also develop within the
best-organized cold pools as multi-cells would attempt to transition
into loosely-organized line segments. The front is then forecast
to move northeastward on Wednesday as a weakly baroclinic trough
pivots across the northern Great Plains and into the Upper Midwest,
with the mid/upper-level ridge centered over the Desert Southwest
expanding eastward Wednesday into Thursday. Precipitation chances
will decrease accordingly with warm-to-hot temperatures forecast
given the gradual build in geopotential heights by the end of next
week.

1021 PM CDT Sun Jul 4 2021

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Rain showers and thunderstorms will move through the area from north
to south late this evening into Monday morning across the extreme
southwestern Texas Panhandle and South Plains. Locally heavy
rainfall of 1 to 3 inches of rain will be possible. This will lead
to a potential for localized flash flooding, especially in low lying
and poor drainage areas.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Additional chances for thunderstorms will be possible Monday into
Tuesday. Localized flash flooding will continue to be of concern,
along with gusty winds.

Wednesday and beyond, thunderstorm chances will diminish with a low
probability for hazardous weather.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
