Areas affected...portions of northwestern Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 040414Z - 040545Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A couple instances of severe hail and wind are possible
over the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...Convection has recently intensified over the TX South
Plains, as warm and moist air around 850 mb continues to advect over
a surface cold front. The 00Z MAF observed sounding showed 3000 J/kg
MUCAPE over the warm sector given steep lapse rates aloft. With
low-level WAA supporting convective initiation amid the
aforementioned mid-level lapse rate environment, it is plausible
that these elevated storms may be strong enough to produce isolated
instances of severe hail. A severe gust may also be possible if any
of the storms can catch up to the cold front. The severe threat
should remain isolated though, so WW issuance is not currently
anticipated.
