Day 1 Convective Outlook

1123 AM CDT Sat May 29 2021
Valid 291630Z - 301200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS....
...SUMMARY...
Scattered large hail, brief tornadoes, and isolated severe wind
gusts are possible after about 2 PM MDT across portions of eastern
Colorado, eastern New Mexico and the western Texas/Oklahoma
panhandles.
...High Plains...
Morning visible satellite imagery shows clear skies and strong
heating occurring over most of the high plains of CO/NM. Dewpoints
are in the 40s to lower 50s, and forecast soundings for this
afternoon show MLCAPE values of 1500-2000 J/kg across the region,
along with a weakening cap. Model guidance is consistent with the
development of scattered thunderstorms over the foothills of CO/NM,
as well as initiation along the DCVZ/Palmer Ridge. Low level shear
is relatively weak over most areas, except parts of southeast CO
where backed low-level flow may result in a localized tornado
threat. Otherwise, organized multicell and occasional supercell
storms will pose a risk of large hail and damaging winds this
afternoon and evening.
...VA/NC...
A surface cold front is sagging southward across southern VA toward
northern NC. A few thunderstorms have begun to form in the warm
sector over far southeast VA and northeast NC, where pockets of
heating and dewpoints near 70F are yielding MLCAPE over 1000 J/kg.
Vertical shear is not particularly strong in this area, but
moderately strong southwesterly winds above the surface will promote
gusty/damaging winds in the most intense cells this afternoon. An
isolated tornado cannot be ruled out if a storm can track along and
interact with the frontal boundary.
...South TX...
A long-lived MCS with occasional bowing segments is moving
southeastward across deep south TX. A risk of locally damaging wind
gusts will persist for another 1-2 hours before storms move
offshore. Please refer to MCD #799 for further details.
