A watch is being issued shortly. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development is gradually increasing in the vicinity of a north-south-oriented dryline/lee trough in far southwest TX this afternoon -- where a plume of steep midlevel lapse rates is evident. During the next few hours, continued diurnal heating and mesoscale ascent along the dryline should favor an uptick in storm coverage into the evening hours. Regional VWP indicates 30-40 kt of midlevel southwesterly flow atop moist east-southeasterlies (middle/upper 50s to lower 60s dewpoints) -- supportive of organized storms given continued diurnal destabilization (decreasing CINH) east of the dryline.=20=20 Initial storms closer to the dryline may remain somewhat separated and pose a risk of isolated large hail; however, the steep lapse rate environment and expected increase in storm coverage should primarily result in a risk of strong/severe outflow winds owing to upscale growth with eastward extent this afternoon/evening. A watch will be issued shortly. ...Weinman/Hart.. 05/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8trOPF0wdwYZX7F21oopJkElwi9ehkDplxrjwAfRbrbaJsrBBREI8Sn9T9hgagWwNNfKvFah9= 1vwq5-61BFSW6rMNZM$ for graphic product...
