Watch issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...The cu field has recently become agitated along an outflow-reinforced front across western north TX. Latest visible and day cloud phase satellite imagery suggest at least one thunderstorm may develop and persist along this boundary. The low/mid-level flow field remains modest across this region per recent area VWPs, but enough veering/strengthening with height may still support 25-35 kt of deep-layer shear. This should be sufficient for some updraft organization, including marginal supercell potential. If a robust thunderstorm can form and persist, it would tend to move slowly east-southeastward along/near the surface boundary. Around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE and somewhat steepened mid-level lapse rates should support some threat for isolated large hail. Occasional severe/damaging downdraft winds may also occur as low-level lapse rates continue to steepen. Current expectations are for the severe threat to remain quite isolated, so watch issuance is not currently expected. ...Gleason/Thompson.. 05/03/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7Qn6ZQhFmF0R3kjcYl8Kh30-pp1XK1dKWIlj0Zw07LIxfKEi_qNkVCNuHBKCxf-J1E4_VTBhd= q9yOM3Y9STbpsk_X8o$ for graphic product...
