...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2023

A widespread severe weather event is expected to occur this
afternoon through early evening with all weather hazards possible.
Water vapor imagery depicts a very strong short wave trough rotating
out of New Mexico with the base of the trough over central/western
New Mexico. This short wave will take on an increasingly more
negative tilt as it rotates around the larger trough over the
western CONUS. Mid and upper level winds will continue to quickly
back to the south/southwest as this short wave approaches. A large
amount of diffluent air will spread over the area for the rest of
this afternoon into the evening supplying a great amount of large
scale lift. The strength of this short wave was evident on this
morning's water vapor imagery evident by the waves within the mid
and high clouds out ahead of the trough axis.

The southwesterly mid and upper level winds will keep surface winds
backed to the southeast/south with a good flow of low level
moisture. Surface dew points will solidly be in the upper 50s to
lower 60s with the lowest values near the Texas/New Mexico state
line. Low stratus this morning will initially limit boundary layer
mixing possibly keeping surface dew points a little higher.
Atmospheric mixing may only be on the order of 1-2km this afternoon
on the caprock. Nonetheless, a healthy low level theta-e ridge will
exist across the area this afternoon feeding into convection.
Cooling mid level temperatures will lead to steep mid level lapse
rates on the order of 7-8 C/km spreading over the area early this
afternoon. Mixed layer instability value calculations of 1-2 km
yields anywhere between 2000 and 3000 J/kg with a minimal amount or
no CIN. CAPE profiles will be very fat this afternoon leading to
strong and intense updrafts. Strong shear magnitudes will exist
today with vectors on the order of 40-50kt which will favor discrete
supercell convection as the initial development. Hodographs will be
relatively short this afternoon with the initial convective
development but are expected to lengthen by late afternoon. Tornado
potential will likely maximize late afternoon with the lengthening
of the hodographs increasing low level helicity. Initial discrete
development will likely morph into an MCS as it tracks across the
region and will wane late this evening over the Rolling Plains and
points eastward.

Last and maybe not least, we will be dealing with heavy rainfall
leading to flooding. A large portion of the area have seen rainfall
amounts in excess of 400% of normal over the past two weeks or so
leading to a saturated ground in the top layers. Additional rainfall
will only exacerbate flooding concerns. Precipitable water anomaly
values will be maximized near the Texas/New Mexico state line with
values on the order of 150-175 percent of normal. Areas east will
still see anomalies in excess of 125 percent of normal. Warm cloud
depths will be around 10kft which will be more than sufficient for
heavy rainfall. Although model soundings are not indicative of a
typical heavy rain sounding, widespread strong updrafts and
antecedent conditions will contribute to a flash flooding threat
across the entire region.

The convective forecast for Saturday is quite murky and will be
highly dependent on what happens this afternoon and evening. We will
lose much of the large scale lift on Saturday but we will maintain
the low level upslope flow. The most likely scenario is for storms
to develop off the higher terrain of eastern New Mexico within this
upslope flow and slowly migrate eastward through the afternoon into
the evening hours.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 137 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2023

Rain chances will continue for much of the extended forecast period
with thunderstorms possible each day through at least Thursday. 500
mb winds Saturday night are forecast to become northwesterly with
model guidance indicating that thunderstorms that form in northeast
New Mexico will move southeast across the forecast area early Sunday
morning as an MCS. Damaging winds will be the primary hazard
associated with an MCS and given the recent heavy rainfall at some
locations, flooding will be a threat as well. Another round of
convection will be possible Sunday afternoon but will be dependent
on whether the atmosphere can destabilize after morning rain and
storms.

The upper level pattern will then become more static as an Omega
blocking pattern develops over the CONUS on Monday with an H500
center of high pressure located nearly due north over the Northern
Great Plains. This pattern will allow for a prolonged period of
storm chances as moisture is forecast to remain over the region.
Model guidance indicates widely scattered thunderstorms will form
again on Monday. Flooding will remain a threat with weak upper level
winds and slow storm motions.

On Tuesday, the shortwave ridging is forecast to shuffle east with
storm initiation farther west in New Mexico in the afternoon and
evening with this activity possibly moving east from New Mexico into
the southwest Texas Panhandle and the western South Plains later in
the day and overnight. Model guidance indicates the upper level low
over California will begin to move east towards the region on
Wednesday with an increase in large scale ascent and another chance
of rain and thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday before the
blocking pattern begins to breakdown. Temperatures through Friday
are forecast to be about 10 degrees below average with highs each
day in the 70s and low-80s.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 625 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2023

Widespread thunderstorm activity continues over KCDS down to KBPG
with more isolated activity farther west over KLBB and KPVW.
Gusty and erratic winds and frequent lightning will be the main
concerns with this activity. This activity will come to an end
late tonight with dry conditions expected through the remainder of
the TAF period. Low ceilings and visibilities can be expected
again Saturday morning at all TAF sites as moist air continues to
flow into the area.

1143 AM CDT Fri Jun 2 2023

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

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will continue to develop over the
South Plains this afternoon. These storms will expand in coverage
and move eastward into the Rolling Plains and far southeastern Texas
Panhandle by the early evening. Some storms may be strong to severe
and capable of producing large hail up to baseball size, damaging
wind gusts up to 70 mph, and heavy downpours that could lead to
localized flash flooding. A few tornadoes will also be possible
especially across the South Plains.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Chances for strong to marginally severe thunderstorms with heavy
rainfall continue through the weekend and into next week. Flooding
will be a concern through the middle of next week with any storms
that do develop.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed.
