Areas affected...East-central New Mexico into the western
Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles
Concerning...Tornado Watch 700...
Valid 020417Z - 020615Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 700 continues.
SUMMARY...Tornadoes and severe wind gusts will continue to be a
concern into the overnight hours as convection moves into far
eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle/South Plains.
DISCUSSION...Lightning activity has increased with a small linear
segment near Tucumcari, NM. This has occurred as convection has
deepened within the axis of greater MUCAPE along the TX/NM border.
To the east of this activity, moisture has remained in the low 60s F
with temperatures in the Texas Panhandle actually increasing by a
degree or two F over the last hour. This modest warming coupled with
cooling aloft has allowed destabilization to spread eastward this
evening. Linear segments that can intensify will move within an
environment of strong low-level shear--VAD data from KFDX and KAMA
show 0-500 m SRH of 300-350 m2/s2. QLCS and perhaps isolated
supercell tornadoes are possible into the overnight hours. Strong to
severe wind gusts can also be expected even with modest convection
given the strength of the low-level flow field. The main uncertainty
is how far south stronger convection can form as mid-level ascent is
weaker with southward extent.
