Areas affected...Central High Plains

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

Valid 230018Z - 230215Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Convection is expected to increase across western Kansas
into the Oklahoma Panhandle later this evening. Hail and wind are
possible with this activity and a watch is being considered, though
timing is uncertain.

DISCUSSION...Midlevel heights are being suppressed across the
southern Rockies this evening with an apparent vort over northern
NM, ejecting east-northeast toward the High Plains. Latest radar
imagery supports this with a substantial amount of weak convection
arcing from northeast NM to northern Otero County NM. A secondary
short wave is digging southeast across eastern UT, and this feature
will advance into western CO late this evening. Net result will be a
responsive LLJ that should increase across the eastern TX Panhandle
into southwestern KS.

Southeasterly boundary-layer flow is currently noted across the
eastern TX Panhandle into eastern CO. This is contributing to a
corridor of higher instability extending across the High Plains. 00z
soundings from DDC and AMA exhibit very steep midlevel lapse rates,
and large-scale ascent/moistening at midlevels is contributing to
the aforementioned arcing band of convection. Latest thinking is
sustained low-level warm advection will eventually aid robust
thunderstorm development across western KS. This activity should
propagate southeast, encouraged by the increasing LLJ. Hail and wind
are the primary concerns and a watch is being considered.
