...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

CORRECTED FOR SUMMARY

...SUMMARY...
A severe thunderstorm or two may develop late Thursday afternoon or
evening from northwest Texas into western Oklahoma and
western/central Kansas. Other isolated severe storms are possible
across western Nebraska later Thursday night. Large hail and strong
wind gusts will be the primary threats.

...Synopsis...
A weak midlevel shortwave trough over parts of KS/OK at the start of
the period will move quickly eastward during the day Thursday, as a
stronger midlevel shortwave moves across parts of the western CONUS.
In response to the western trough, a surface cyclone will begin
deepening over the central High Plains during the afternoon.

...Western KS into western OK and northwest TX...
Upper 50s to low 60s F dewpoints will spread northward along/east of
the dryline by late afternoon, contributing to the development of
moderate to locally strong instability. Coverage of storm
development along the dryline remains uncertain, with large-scale
ascent expected to remain limited as the primary mid/upper-level
trough remains well to the west during the afternoon/evening.
However, isolated development is possible by late afternoon as
strong heating/mixing occurs along/west of the dryline and MLCINH
weakens along/east of the dryline. Southwesterly midlevel flow will
not be particularly strong, but should support sufficient deep-layer
shear for organized multicells and potentially a supercell or two,
with an attendant risk of large hail and locally severe wind gusts.

...Nebraska Panhandle vicinity...
Isolated high-based thunderstorm development cannot be ruled by late
afternoon or early evening across the NE Panhandle and adjacent
portions of far southeast WY. Any such development could pose a
localized severe wind and/or marginal hail risk. There is somewhat
greater confidence in the development of elevated convection across
this region later in the evening into the overnight hours, as a
southeasterly low-level jet continues to transport moisture into the
region beneath steep midlevel lapse rates, and large-scale ascent
increases in association with the approaching western trough.
Moderate MUCAPE and adequate effective shear will support a hail
risk with these nocturnal storms. Upscale growth into one or more
clusters will also be possible, which could pose an isolated severe
wind risk into the overnight hours.
