   Mesoscale Discussion 0571
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1039 PM CDT Mon May 11 2020

   Areas affected...Parts of the Texas Panhandle/South Plains into
   northwest Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 177...

   Valid 120339Z - 120515Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 177
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Though small hail and gusty winds remain possible with
   thunderstorm activity spreading southeastward across the region
   through Midnight-1 AM CDT, severe weather potential, in general,
   appears to be diminishing.  A new severe weather watch is not
   expected.

   DISCUSSION...Southerly low-level jet intensification continues
   across parts of the Texas South Plains and will likely peak in the
   05-06Z time frame, and there has been a gradual consolidation of
   convection spreading into areas near and southwest of Childress. 
   However, based on latest radar imagery, updraft intensities are
   generally now on the wane, likely due to progressively less unstable
   inflow, and these trends probably will continue.  There has been
   sufficient weakening that a new severe weather watch is not
   anticipated, but lingering stronger convection might still be
   capable of producing occasional small hail and gusty winds while
   spreading into western portions of north Texas/the Texas Big Country
   during the next few hours.
