Isolated severe thunderstorm gusts and large hail are possible across portions of the southern High Plains this afternoon and evening. ....Southern High Plains... A low-amplitude, southern-stream shortwave trough will continue advancing slowly eastward over the central/southern High Plains today, before gradually weakening and becoming absorbed into a more-pronounced northern-stream midlevel trough this evening/overnight. As this feature continues eastward, modestly enhanced midlevel westerly flow will gradually veer to northwesterly by this evening, while a related surface lee trough remains nearly stationary over the High Plains. East of the lee trough, two weak mesoscale lows have developed in response to early-morning/ongoing convection -- one over the TX Panhandle and the other near the TX South Plains. Along the southern/eastern peripheries of the northern mesoscale low/outflow boundary, lower 50s surface dewpoints are spreading northward in conjunction with filtered diurnal heating. As MLCINH erodes, additional surface-based convection should focus along this boundary over the southern TX Panhandle into far southwest OK this afternoon. Steep midlevel lapse rates and elongated mid/upper-level hodographs should favor a couple loosely organized, splitting supercell structures capable of large hail and locally severe gusts. Similarly, diurnal destabilization/steepening low-level lapse rates along/ahead of the southern mesoscale low/outflow boundary should favor additional convective development this afternoon. Given the steep deep-layer lapse rate environment and long/generally straight hodographs (30-40 kt of effective shear), isolated large hail is expected -- especially with the early/cellular development. From the afternoon into the evening/overnight hours, convection will generally spread/expand southeastward as midlevel flow veers on the backside of the weakening shortwave trough. Continued outflow generation amid slightly stronger deep-layer shear could support localized upscale growth/convective clustering and an increasing potential for severe gusts. Eventually, convection will impinge on increasing nocturnal boundary-layer stability and a residual midlevel capping inversion with southward extent, with a corresponding decrease in severe potential during the overnight hours. ...Weinman/Guyer.. 04/09/2023 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
