05/23/2013 Tornado Threat in Northwest Texas

MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER in Northwest Texas today!
\
Just a quick forecast as I’ve stayed overnight in Norman, OK and need to hit the road for the Texas Panhandle shortly. The above graphic is the Storm Prediction Center graphic for tornado potential today in Northwest Texas. A boundary will set up in an area favorable for supercell development somewhere likely in the yellow 10% tornado area. We are confident in severe storms in northwest Texas, particularly in that area, but the exact location will highly depend on exactly where that boundary will end up, and the confidence is lower in where that will happen. Any storm on or near the boundary late afternoon through early evening will have an enhanced chance to produce tornadoes. My current thinking it will be in roughly the Hwy 287 corridor, perhaps north or south of it by 50 miles.
In addition, any storms in the Panhandle today will be potentially capable of producing very large hail, perhaps baseball size or larger. The SPC map below indicates the area with the greatest hail threat. Again, storms on or near that boundary, will certainly be enhanced, and will be the greatest threat for very large and damaging hail.
Additionally, there is also some concern for flash flooding as these storms will be moving rather slowly early on and by late evening should be evolving into large thunderstorm clusters. I guess on the good side, lots of folks could see lots of rain.
It’s that time of year folks, and it’s climatologically the peak of tornado season in Northwest Texas. Stay tuned to your weather information sources and have those weather radios on if you live in Northwest Texas today.
