...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTH TEXAS
TO CENTRAL KANSAS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms, with large hail and damaging wind, are
expected through tonight in a broad swath from south Texas to
central Kansas.
...TX to KS...
Early-day thunderstorm clusters that developed over southeast TX
have conglomerated into a larger slow-moving MCS that has negatively
influenced the air mass/buoyancy over much of this region. However,
convective outflow arcs from the upper TX Coast into south-central
TX immediately ahead of a new developing MCS. This upstream MCS is
expected to mature and propagate southeast toward the middle TX
Coast tonight as a reservoir of weakly-capped instability resides
across the warm sector. Have extended higher severe probabilities
into deep south TX to account for this scenario.
Farther north, scattered strong/severe thunderstorms should continue
this evening from the TX South Plains into central KS. There is some
indication that strengthening LLJ over western OK this evening
should assist in the longevity of this activity as it propagates
east after sunset. While deep-layer flow is not particularly strong,
approaching short-wave trough and modest shear seem supportive of
hail/wind with this convection.
