    Areas affected...parts of southwestern Kansas...southeastern Colorado...northeastern New Mexico...and the Texas and Oklahoma
    Panhandles

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

    Valid 052229Z - 052330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Storms capable of large hail and severe gusts are ongoing
    this afternoon across portions of southwestern Kansas, southeastern
    Colorado, northeastern New Mexico, and the Texas and Oklahoma
    Panhandles. A watch appears unlikely, however trends will be
    monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Storms are ongoing to the south of a stationary
    boundary draped across west-central Kansas and east-central
    Colorado. South of the boundary, moist southeasterly flow and strong
    surface heating have resulted in moderate to strong instability
    (1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE) with steep low-level lapse rates. Flow aloft
    is fairly weak, which yields about 25-35 kts of effective bulk
    shear, so the multicell character of convection with occasional
    transient supercells are expected to continue. The supercell
    updrafts may pose a risk for large hail this evening, given the
    favorable thermodynamic environment along with straight-line
    hodographs. Additionally, the strongest clusters of storms may
    produce severe gusts given the steep low-level lapse rates before
    the diurnal increase in convective inhibition later this evening. A
    watch seems unlikely at this time, but trends will be monitored.
