Isolated large hail and wind damage will be possible. An isolated tornado threat is also expected to develop later this evening. Weather watch issuance may be needed once cells begin to increase in coverage, especially after 03Z. DISCUSSION...The latest surface analysis shows a 995 mb low in central Colorado with a surface trough extending southward across southeastern Colorado into eastern New Mexico. A moist airmass is located from northwest Texas into the eastern Texas Panhandle, where surface dewpoints are generally in the 50s F. A dryline is located across the central Texas Panhandle. To the east of the dryline, a narrow corridor of MLCAPE in the 250 to 750 J/kg range is analyzed by the RAP.=20 Cells are ongoing near the instability axis and have shown a gradual intensification trend over the last hour. This will likely continue as the exit region of a mid-level jet overspreads the southern High Plains over the next few hours. Increasing large-scale ascent and cooling temperatures aloft, will make conditions more favorable for convective development with time. This instability combined with 0-6 km shear near 60 knots, evident on the Dodge City WSR-88D VWP, will be sufficient for a severe threat as instability increases. Initially, supercells with isolated large hail and wind damage are expected to develop. But as cells increase in coverage and the low-level jet strengthens, an isolated tornado threat is also expected. ...Broyles/Grams.. 12/13/2022 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7CXxJHvPadE74oyYZLA6lp9yqm0r_l8rUgIatRNhsdvSre8B_RlTm1soUhWjO_jznfu6m3egE= yg1pjzeWHTx4u0IBCI$ for graphic product...
