6:50pm Severe Weather Update

Scattered strong to severe storms have been pulsing up and down along and east of the dryline across western Texas this afternoon.  So far, we’re not seeing nearly the level of severe weather that some of these areas experienced yesterday evening, but we do have a few severe storms that have developed across the rolling plains of western north Texas north of Floydada, along and near I-20 down towards Big Springs, and south of I-10 near Sanderson…all of which carry the threat of large hail.   Support from the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere has been less than what it was yesterday, with the best forcing well north of the state and just glancing the northern panhandle at this time.  However, instability levels remain moderate to high across the areas east of the dryline and this will continue to support the potential development of additional strong to severe storms for several more hours…especially in areas with pockets of higher instability, moisture and some influence from outflow boundaries kicked off by other nearby storms.  All modes of severe weather remain likely within any additional storms including large hail, damaging wind gusts and a possible tornado or two.  Tornado WATCHES remain in effect until 10pm for the regions outlined on the coverage maps below.
