LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS DEEPENING CUMULUS OVER THE TX
S PLAINS JUST W OF A LBB TO PVW LINE AND OVER PORTIONS OF S-CNTRL
NM...SUGGESTING THAT FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH SHORT WAVE
TROUGH OVER S-CNTRL NM IS BEGINNING TO ACT ON STEEP LAPSE RATE
ENVIRONMENT. WHILE LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS SOMEWHAT LIMITED E OF
LEE TROUGH/DRYLINE CURRENTLY SITUATED IN N-S FASHION OVER ERN
NM...THE PRESENCE OF THESE STEEP LAPSE RATES IS RESULTING IN A
WEAKLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SURFACE-BASED PARCELS WITH SBCAPES
OF AROUND 500 J/KG PER 20Z REESE AFB AND RUC PROXIMITY SOUNDINGS.
VERTICAL SHEAR IS QUITE SUPPORTIVE OF UPDRAFT ROTATION WITH 0-3 KM
SRH OF AROUND 250 M2/S2 AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEARS OF 50 KT. AS
SUCH...EXPECT THAT A FEW STORMS WILL EVOLVE INTO SUPERCELLS DESPITE
THE MARGINAL INSTABILITY WITH THE PRIMARY THREATS BEING LARGE HAIL
AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS. TSTMS DEVELOPING OVER ERN NM/WRN TX
