Areas affected...extreme eastern portions of the Texas Panhandle
into far western Oklahoma

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 022347Z - 030145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A few instances of severe wind or hail are possible with
the stronger thunderstorms this evening.

DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are increasing in number and intensity
ahead of a surface cold front as a 500 mb jet streak overspreads
western TX (per 23Z mesoanalysis). These storms are preceded by 8+
C/km low and mid-level lapse rates, which should support continued
development and intensification given low to mid 60s F surface
temperatures and 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE. RAP forecast soundings and 23Z
mesoanalysis also show weak deep-layer shear, characterized by
generally short hodographs. While some severe wind and hail cannot
be ruled out, the severe threat is expected to remain generally
isolated given the weaker shear. Storms may gradually diminish in
intensity later this evening with the onset of nocturnal cooling.
