AREAS AFFECTED...TX...OK...KS

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 140427Z - 140530Z

ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH HAIL HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED ACROSS
PARTS OF THE TX PNHDL. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT TO POSE A MORE
WIDESPREAD THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER AND A WATCH IS NOT EXPECTED.

RECENT RAPID STORM INITIATION IN THE TX PNHDL APPEARS LINKED TO
DRYLINE RETREAT/LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SURGE AND EMERGING LARGE SCALE
ASCENT WITH APPROACH OF SWRN U.S./SRN ROCKIES UPPER TROUGH. ACTIVITY
MAY STRUGGLE TO BECOME MORE ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE AREA BASED ON
RELATIVELY HIGH CONVECTIVE INHIBITION WHICH IS ALSO INDICATED TO
INCREASE BASED ON LATEST FORECAST SOUNDINGS. HOWEVER...ONGOING
STORMS ARE WITHIN SUFFICIENTLY SHEARED FLOW REGIME WITH DEEP-LAYER
EFFECTIVE SHEAR AROUND 40KT LIKELY TO SUPPORT SOME UPDRAFT
PERSISTENCE. AT PRESENT IT APPEARS SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH THIS
ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN TOO LIMITED FOR A WATCH. THIS IS ALSO SUPPORTED
THROUGH THE NIGHT BY LATEST NAM AND ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE SHOWING LITTLE
IN THE WAY OF CONVECTIVE QPF ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...SHOULD MODEL
GUIDANCE BE IN ERROR AND GREATER SEVERE STORM COVERAGE BECOMES MORE
APPARENT...THE SITUATION WILL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE REASSESSED.
