AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF NW TX...WRN AND CNTRL OK INTO SRN KS

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 092042Z - 092245Z

PERSISTENT AREA OF VIGOROUS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO
SLOWLY DEVELOP NORTHWARD THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS IS
OCCURRING WITHIN A ZONE OF STEEPER ISENTROPIC ASCENT...ON THE NOSE
OF RICHER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN...NORTH OF A RETREATING SURFACE
FRONT ACROSS WEST CENTRAL/SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. LATEST RUC GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS THAT THIS FORCING IS CONTRIBUTING TO WEAK TO MODERATE
CAPE...TO AROUND 1000 J/KG...IN THE PRESENCE OF STEEP MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND STRONG CLOUD BEARING LAYER SHEAR. SIGNIFICANT
FURTHER INTENSIFICATION STILL APPEARS UNLIKELY ANYTIME SOON...BUT
SMALL TO PERHAPS MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE WITHIN
STRONGER CELLS...AS ACTIVITY SPREADS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
WESTERN/CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS BETWEEN NOW AND 00Z.
