Valid 082053Z - 082300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Coverage is uncertain, but isolated severe storm
development may occur by 5-7 PM CDT. Watch issuance is possible.

DISCUSSION...To the east of a surface trough and west/south of
remnant outflow, a conditionally favorable severe-storm environment
has evolved this afternoon from southwest KS into the OK/TX
Panhandles. Diurnal heating of a moist airmass has resulted in
moderate to locally strong destabilization, with MLCAPE now in the
2000-3000 J/kg range per recent mesoanalyses. Across this region,
modest midlevel northwesterly flow atop low-level southerlies is
supporting elongated hodographs and effective shear of 30-40 kt,
sufficient for organized storms, including supercell potential.

Details of storm coverage and timing within this favorable
environment remain uncertain, with generally modest large-scale
ascent across the region. However, given the presence of multiple
surface boundaries within an uncapped environment, at least isolated
storm development is possible by 5-7 PM CDT. Development may occur
as far west as extreme southwest KS into the western OK/TX
Panhandles, in the vicinity of the weak surface trough. There is a
somewhat stronger (though still uncertain) signal for development
across the OK/northeast TX Panhandles into adjacent southwest KS, in
closer proximity to the remnant outflow, where a gradually
strengthening low-level jet may sustain severe-storm potential into
the evening.=20

Should robust development occur, splitting supercells will be
possible, with a primary threat of large to very large hail and
localized severe gusts. A tornado cannot be ruled out if any
supercells can be sustained near the remnant outflow, especially as
low-level shear/SRH increases with time early this evening. Watch
issuance is possible if confidence increases in the development of
one or more sustained supercells into the early evening.
