SOUTHERN PLAINS HIGH PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE

OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS.

THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND THE PANHANDLE

ELSEWHERE...SEVERE STORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS
AND CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES

A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS IN PLACE THIS MORNING OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING FROM
THE OZARKS THROUGH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...WESTERN TEXAS INTO EASTERN NEW
MEXICO. THIS BOUNDARY MAY LIFT SLIGHTLY NORTH TODAY THROUGH EASTERN
NEW MEXICO AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE...PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR INTENSE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. OTHER
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM THE CHEYENNE RIDGE SWD
THROUGH THE COLORADO FRONT RANGE TO THE RATON MESA AREA OF
NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...AND PERHAPS EASTWARD ALONG THE STATIONARY
FRONT INTO PARTS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

INITIAL STORMS WILL LIKELY BE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF VERY LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES. BY TONIGHT...THE
INDIVIDUAL STORMS MAY MERGE INTO A LARGE COMPLEX WHICH WOULD BE
CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE LOCATION WHERE THIS
STORM COMPLEX MAY FORM IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...THOUGH IT APPEARS
THAT THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD WILL BE ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF THE
SURFACE FRONT OVER THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES INTO WESTERN
OKLAHOMA.

STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING THIS DEVELOPING
SITUATION. THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO REVIEW SEVERE
