...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms with isolated severe wind gusts will be possible on
Thursday across parts of the southern Plains.

...Southern Plains...
A positively-tilted mid-level shortwave trough will move
northeastward across the southern Plains on Thursday. At the
surface, a cold front will advance south-southeastward across
Oklahoma and west Texas. Ahead of the front, surface dewpoints from
the mid 60s to lower 70s F will contribute to destabilization along
a corridor from central Texas north-northeastward into eastern
Oklahoma. As surface temperatures warm, isolated to scattered
thunderstorms will possible along and near the instability axis in
areas where low-level convergence becomes maximized. By mid to late
afternoon, steepening low-level lapse rates will make isolated
severe wind gusts a possibility. This threat could continue into the
early evening as low-level flow increases. Any wind-damage threat
that develops is expected to remain marginal.
