DISCUSSION...Visible imagery shows strong heating over the panhandles and into much of the South Plains and northwest TX, the exception being the eastern TX Panhandle into western OK in association with a batch of showers and cirrus. CU is beginning to form within the surface trough from eastern NM into the TX Panhandle, with weak wind convergence. GPS PW sensors show a plume of 0.80-0.90" PWAT from northwest TX into the eastern TX Panhandle and South Plains, where dewpoints remain in the 50s F. The cold midlevel trough is currently over the area, which when combined with heating, continues to steepen lapse rates. Scattered storms are expected to form both along the weak convergence zone and farther east into the moist plume, where differential heating near the outflow/clouds exists. The steep lapse rates and sufficient deep-layer shear will favor a few storms producing hail around 1.00-1.50" diameter, especially later in the day. Mixed storm modes are expected, with locally strong wind gusts with the outflows as well. ...Jewell/Guyer.. 04/09/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!_eUOcTEwTEzOJvRbsU8FGlWnofvCcF_WMXyJyU_V9dE65FjT-82I8e0FKq59nLiXdAtF-l9DL= SoMu_Zg_fCTJWARH68$ for graphic product...
