Supercells/Low Tornado Risk Texas Panhandle

We're monitoring the Texas Panhandle for a risk of supercells with large hail and tornadoes this afternoon and evening.

Today is going to be yet another day with severe weather possible on the Plains, with supercells possible with large hail the primary threat. You can not rule out a tornado either, especially in the hours around sunset where the low-level shear will maximize with an increasing low-level jet.

I’m watching an outflow boundary in the Texas Panhandle very closely today. Low clouds north of this boundary should erode slowly through the day, but the uneven heating and added vorticity of this boundary may be a focus area for supercell development later today.
