A WELL-DEVELOPED UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST IS
EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WITH SOUTHWEST FLOW IN PLACE FROM THE
SRN HIGH PLAINS NNEWD INTO THE CNTRL PLAINS. AT THE SFC...A MOIST
AXIS IS IN PLACE FROM WEST TX NNEWD INTO WRN KS WHERE DEWPOINTS
RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MID 60S F. IN SPITE OF THE LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE...INSTABILITY REMAINS RATHER WEAK ATTM. HOWEVER...A 80 TO
100 KT MID-LEVEL JET LOCATED ACROSS THE CNTRL ROCKIES IS CREATING
STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS MAY SUPPORT A
MARGINAL THREAT FOR STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND/OR A BRIEF TORNADO AS
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL
FOR MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS SHOULD BE ACROSS ERN NM AND WEST TX
WHERE INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO BE MAXIMIZED AND STORMS ARE LIKELY
TO BE SFC-BASED IN NATURE.
